I generally agree, but is that an option?  Changing `didSet` to `didset` is a 
breaking change.  Or are you arguing that this is a special case as it is 
already going to change when property behaviors are introduced?

I wish we had a clearer sense of how breaking changes will be evaluated in 
future versions of Swift.
