<div name="messageBodySection" style="font-size: 14px; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif;">I don't really expect this sort of syntactic sugar to be popular enough to make it through swift-evolution, and I don't think it's worth the distraction from more important priorities at this time, but for what it's worth, I've enjoyed this feature in other languages that support it. It plays a small part in making code more focused by eliminating unnecessary syntax.
<div><br /></div>
<div>I could be wrong, but I'm not so sure that this would actually be source breaking. Even if you have something like this:</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><font face="Monaco">let points = [</font></div>
<div><font face="Monaco">    Point(</font></div>
<div><font face="Monaco">        x: 1.0,</font></div>
<div><font face="Monaco">        y: 2.0</font></div>
<div><font face="Monaco">    ),</font></div>
<div><font face="Monaco">    Point(</font></div>
<div><font face="Monaco">        x: 3.0,</font></div>
<div><font face="Monaco">        y: 4.0</font></div>
<div><font face="Monaco">    )</font></div>
<div><font face="Monaco">]</font></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Proper implementation of this feature wouldn't suddenly interpret `Point(` as its own element.</div>

a semicolon is a purely syntactic delimiter, the comma on the other hand corresponds to physical elements in a collection. I think the two are more different than you suggest.<br />

<br />
I very much agree^<br />
