Currently they just result in a “trailing closure separated by multiple new-lines” warning, so they could perhaps be made available, in which event you could use them in larger case statements whenever you wished.</div><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 29 Jan 2016, at 22:45, Rudolf Adamkovič via swift-evolution <<a href="mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org" class="">swift-evolution@swift.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=us-ascii" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class="">+2 from me!
