<div dir="ltr">Like others that have already responded, I would vote -1 to this proposal based on evaluating the question "Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?" My answer to that would be no. While it is indeed different from other languages there is no relative difficulty in typing \( vs. any other sequence.<div><br></div><div>Thank you though for the time and thought put into writing up the proposal. It's this level of participation from the community and ability to share thoughts and ideas in a public forum that has made open source Swift so attractive to many.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 21, 2016 at 3:43 PM, Kenny Wyland via swift-evolution <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:swift-evolution@swift.org" target="_blank">swift-evolution@swift.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I'm new to the list and I just searched through the archives as best I could to see if someone else had already brought this up, but I didn't find anything.
