>> @escaping would be part of the parameter type just as @noescape is today. Your foo(closure:) example wouldn't compile with my proposal, the same as today if you marked the parameter with @noescape. Non-escaping function parameters are only allowed to be called. They can't be assigned to variables.<br>

</span>@escaping is really a parameter-specific aspect of the outer function type, not an aspect of the parameter's type. It's just like something like NS_CONSUMED in Objective-C ARC.<br>
