To be clear, I like colon in parameter lists; I don't see passing a parameter as setting something.
I suppose mainly what I'd like is for attributes to change:
@available(iOS, introduced: 7.0, deprecated: 8.0)
And *possibly* for dictionary literals to change:
let dict = ["key" = "value"] // Also, the shorthand syntax would be [String = String]
Although dictionary literals seem like a relatively high-impact change compared to its value.
