This actually doesn't have anything to do with @autoclosure or @noescape. Any 
one-expression closure can omit the `return` statement and have an inferred 
return type.

> type A {
>     var characters: [Character] = …
>     var string: String { String(self.characters) }
>     var count: Int { 42 }

Despite those inaccuracies, I do think that it's a good idea to permit 
single-expression accessors to omit the `return` statement; it will make them 
much less clunky. I would even extend this to cases where you use the `get` 
keyword:

        var string: String {
                get { String(self.characters) }
                set { characters = Array(newValue.characters) }
        }
