[swift-users] @escaping may only be applied to parameters of function type

[Shawn Erickson]

I hit this issue as well. I had an early email on this list regarding do
this topic, not in a situation to search for it. It is a short coming in
how escaping can be applied to things like optional closures.

I was in the process of authoring an email for swift evolution about it and
haven't yet gotten around to filing a defect about it.
