The review of SE-0176 "Enforce Exclusive Access to Memory" ran from April 14 to 
April 21, 2017. This proposal has been accepted with revisions. 

Feedback was strongly positive. Some participants raised concern about the 
overhead of dynamic checking. The core team shares this concern but feels that 
there will be adequate opportunities later to make pragmatic decisions about 
when to enable dynamic checking.

Most of the proposal is accepted.  An implementation issue has been discovered 
with the use of dynamic enforcement on inout parameters.  The proposal 
implementors suggest adopting a stronger rule governing the use of non-escaping 
closures which will also allow Swift to make firm guarantees about the use of 
static enforcement when a variable does not escape.  The core team tentatively 
supports this new rule but believes it is a substantial enough revision that it 
requires a separate review period.

Thanks to everyone who participated. I will send out an additional announcement 
kicking off the further review shortly.

Ben
Review Manager
