</span>I'm posting this on behalf of Dmitri Gribenko, and Max Moiseev, and<br>
myself.<br>
<br>
We would like to accept the proposal with one modification: rather than<br>
add an argument label, we'd like to drop the String initializer<br>
altogether, making `"\(expression)"` the standard way to get a string<br>
representation of `expression`.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
