To which, I'd add: `where` suggests there's a subordinate and semantic relationship between the primary condition and the clause. There's no way as far as I know this to enforce it in the grammar and the proposal allows both clauses to be stated even without the connecting word. You could make a vague argument, I suppose, for renaming `where` to `when` but all in all, even killing `where` we benefit with better expressive capabilities and a simpler grammar. -- E _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
