Yes, I’m all for removing this syntax which seems to confuse people with what it actually does. Having to write more explicit code with a `guard` or `.filter` is better than people unexpectedly creating bugs.
I’d say remove it for Swift 3, allowing a potential replacement for this functionality to be an addition and not a breaking change. It’s kind of like pruning a tree back to prepare it for new growth. (I like Xiaodi’s suggestion of replacing `where` with `if`, but I imagine that would be a separate proposal, but interested in hear other’s thoughts on it, although I’ve probably missed some in the discussion.)
