When writing your review, here are some questions you might want to answer in your review:<br class=""><br class=""><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• What is your evaluation of the proposal?<br class=""></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>I do not use tuple splatting in Swift. Thus, if removing it will contribute to cleaning up the language and the compiler, then I support the change.</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?<br class=""></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>Sometimes we have to take a step backwards before taking two steps forward. We heard multiple proposals to better support the notion of tuple splatting during the debate following this proposal. However, it strikes me that none of these proposals can happen until the existing tuple splatting feature has been removed. Thus, I think it significant to progress.</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?<br class=""></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>Yes, for reasons I have already stated.</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?<br class=""></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>I have never seen or used tuple splatting in any language.
