> What is your evaluation of the proposal?
A somewhat reluctant +1.  I like the sugar but Chris makes a good case about 
the ambiguities and the move away from functional tradition.  I am a bit sad 
about the need for parentheses but it seems like maybe it's for the best.  

I also must admit that increased consistency of adding the parentheses will 
probably make the language a bit easier to learn for those not coming from a 
functional background.

It cleans up function type syntax to match other recent changes.

Yes, especially Swift 3 direction.

I really like the very clean syntax of functional languages which is why I am a 
little bit disappointed to see us add what looks like clutter when seen from a 
functional perspective.

Participated in the original thread, read the proposal and all replies, and 
gave some thought to the balance of aesthetics and clarity (especially removing 
ambiguity).
