Which is precisely why I called it 'always'. So in your example: func doSomethingWith(x: Int) { print(“1”) defer { print(“2") } if x > 3 { defer { print(“yay”); return } print(“3”) } I would say: func doSomethingWith(x: Int) { print(“1”) print(“3”) always { print(“2") if x > 3 { print(“yay”) } } } This is functionally identical, but both the syntax and program flow are greatly improved. _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
