As it’s gonna be used mostly after #if, the whole statement becomes very readable.</p><p><br></p><div><div><blockquote type="cite" class="clean_bq" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><span><div><div>* Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?</div></div></span></blockquote></div><p>Definitely. Also, now is the good time to introduce such a change, since the multiplatform use of Swift is only getting momentum.</p><p><br></p><div><div><blockquote type="cite" class="clean_bq" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><span><div><div>* Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?</div></div></span></blockquote></div><p>I do think so. Swift was always presented with a vision of language of the future, something that can take place of C++ in the terms of the best solution to write multiplatform code. A great community effort has already introduced basic support for Android, RaspberryPi, multiple Linux distros. The differences in frameworks availability and naming are unavoidable.</p><p><br></p><div><div><blockquote type="cite" class="clean_bq" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><span><div><div>* If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?</div></div></span></blockquote></div><p>No, I haven’t. I’ve been bitten by problems coming from a lack of such a feature in other languages, though.</p><p><br></p><div><div><blockquote type="cite" class="clean_bq" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><span><div><div>* How much effort did you put into your review?
