The proposal is simply that "func foo(let x: Int) { … }” be disallowed, since
it is redundant with "func foo(x: Int) { … }”. In terms of taking back “let”
as a parameter label, this only makes sense in the future, when we give up on
migration of the former into the later.
At that point, let could conceivably be used as an external label, as in
"foo(let: 42)”. This would make the language simpler and more consistent,
since we allow other keywords there.
