The defect underlying this proposal: `let (x: Int, y: Double)` looks like it's declaring `x` and `y` of types `Int` and `Double`, but it's actually declaring `Int` and `Double` and binding them to `x` and `y`. Your code's meaning is perfectly unambiguous to the compiler, of course, but it's misleading to the human. -- Brent Royal-Gordon Architechies _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
