FWIW the Python 3 migration found removal of old syntax and introduction of
new syntax in the same release to be hugely problematic, and ended up
back-porting a lot of Python 2 syntax features into 3.1 & 3.2 to ease the
transition. The problem is that large codebases are very rarely controlled

Very strong -1 to implicit 'with'. Javascript tried this and it was a
disaster, and eventually banned in strict mode. It tends to make
compilation and optimization of a variable within a 'with' block
impossible, as it could refer to the fields of any object, or even a method
call behind protocol

+1 to this. It's really important for getting a sane third-party library
ecosystem working.
I assume that the @available annotation generated would also work for
watchOS, tvOS, etc. frameworks. How would it work for non-iOS Swift
platforms? I'm not terribly familiar with how #available works on
