-1. <br><br>I'm honestly a little confused about how a two sentence email complaining about a typo with no proposal for a better replacement could spawn a 25 message thread. <br><br>IMO, emails to swift-evolution should be well thought out ideas (even if they're not full formed proposals) so as to not waste people's time. This list is high traffic enough as it is, which makes it harder to participate than I would like.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Seth <br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 10:15 PM David Waite via swift-evolution <<a href="mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org">swift-evolution@swift.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Won’t that conflict with the existing use of “is” as a keyword for type tests?<br>

You know, if we proposed changing ‘ == ‘ to ‘ = ‘ and ‘ = ‘ to ‘ := ‘ it would break all existing code, plus *really* stir up the “Colon vs Equals” thread.<br>
<br>
I’m of course -1 on changing around equality, equivalence and assignment syntax without strong justification.<br>
