Independently of how exhaustive is spelled, nonexhaustive doesn’t make sense to me. It should be the default. Swift doesn’t have keywords to redundantly specify the default unless there is a specific reason to be able to do that. The example often cited is “nonmutating”, but it isn’t there to cover the default: it is specifically required because setters default to mutating so it must exist to be change that default. -Chris
