This weakens our justification for making the first parameter declaration in a `func` declaration behave differently from the others, implicitly being unlabeled. It seems pretty clear to me we should make all of the parameter declarations behave uniformly:<div class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class=""><div class="">func foo(x: Int, y: Int) // Should declare foo(x:y:), instead of foo(_:y:)</div><div class="">func foo(_ x: Int, y: Int) // Explicitly declares foo(_:y:)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></blockquote>This would also make `init` and `func` parameters behave consistently, which is nice. There may still be hope for our keyword argument rules to one day be shorter than the Smalltalk spec…<br class=""><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div></blockquote>-Joe</div>_______________________________________________<br class="">swift-evolution mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org" class="">swift-evolution@swift.org</a><br class="">https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution<br class=""></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></body></html>
