While upgrading to Swift 3, I noticed that I had a few enums with cases named .Default that, after being converted to lowercase, now need to be rendered using the ugly .`default` notation.
I also noticed something similar while reading the docs for NotificationCenter (the NSNotificationCenter replacement, that is, not the NotificationCenter that governs the notification center UI); “default” can’t be used as a function name without escaping, so the declaration is: class func `default`() It seems to me that in the case of function names and enum cases, the parser should be able to unambiguously distinguish between the Swift keyword “default” and a user-defined name “default”, since IIRC the keyword “default” can only be used in parameter lists for generated headers and as the last item in a switch statement. (Perhaps this is also another argument in favor of using “case _:” in place of “default:” in a switch statement.) What do you think? Is there any reason this *wouldn’t* be feasible? _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
