I will like to suggest the alternative that consists in eliminating the use of "," since the compiler is able to know here they are expected, automatic watermarks can be added by Xcode to indicate where the compiler is automatically adding the comas. also use of a “..” watermark at the end of a line will indicate that it continues on the next line, it will also be added on the start of the next line as well.
Optionally watermark numbers can be added to indicate the number of elements in a line or the accumulated total This change will make it easier for user to rearrange list, and eliminate the “Expected ‘,’ separator” error without making the code less safe or less readable. It also doesn’t have any impact on existing code since the user could still use the “,” manually There could be cases were the user will still need to type “,” if the grammar is ambiguous The use of the ";" can also be eliminated using similar logic > On May 10, 2016, at 2:05 PM, Karl Wagner via swift-evolution > <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> On 10 May 2016, at 20:53, Chris Lattner via swift-evolution >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hello Swift community, >> >> The review of "SE-0084: Allow trailing commas in parameter lists and tuples" >> begins now and runs through May 16.
