<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto"><div>I'm on vacation and don't have time for a full review right now, but I am concerned that wild this proposal would make enums more <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">general and </span>uniform with the rest of the language , they also would become much more awkward for common use cases. I have recently been very pleased that I didn't have to supply labels in switch statements where the label name would simply have matched the name of the variable to be bound. This looks needlessly verbose:</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature"> case .valid(value: let value, resumptionPoint: let resumptionPoint):</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">I cannot imagine a real life use case where one would have labels in the case and desire to bind associated values to variables having different names than the labels.<br><br>Secondly, I can't imagine a case where one would want to use the same case basename and different labels. The very common use case where the types of associated values completely distinguish the case and one would rather not have to supply a case name at all is completely unaddressed. If my quick read is not mistaken, this proposal makes it legal for cases to have different <i>complete names</i> (including base name and labels), but doesn't make it legal to have the same full name (which I would love to be "_" or missing in some cases) with different associated value types. If we were truly following the precedent set by function signatures, wouldn't that be possible too?</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"></div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br><div>Sent from my moss-covered three-handled family gradunza</div></div><div><br>On Feb 17, 2017, at 5:26 PM, John McCall <<a href="mailto:rjmccall@apple.com">rjmccall@apple.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8">Hello Swift community,<br class=""><br class="">The review of "SE-0155: Normalize Enum Case Representation" begins now and runs through next Friday, February 26th.
