The “internal name” Brent mentions would be the name of the stored property holding the value if that idea were introduced in the future. It has value beyond just documentation and autocompletion.</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>• Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?<br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>Yes.
