I was going to have a look at creating a new proposal for this but I see there already is one <https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mon-20160425/015977.html> and the start of an implementation <https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/3866>. Is there any chance this is in the pipeline?
