Thats a good point!
Here is some bikeshedding:
public extension UIViewController {
observe public var view: UIView {
willSet {
// do something useful here
}
didSet {
// do something useful here
}
}
}
An extra observe keyword might signal to the compiler the correct intended
usage.

+1. This would allow us to create observers on any foreign variable. I'm far
from a compiler right now but I wouldn't this syntax create a new variable
instead of observing an existing one? Even if not, by reading this one could be
mislead to believe so. Perhaps you should give it something to differentiate
from creating a new var, for example by suppressing the type on this
declaration.

Hello dear Swift community, I’m not sure if this was discussed before or not,
but I really want to know if something like this is welcome for the future
Swift version. If this topic was already discussed, I’m apologizing for
bringing it back to life in a new thread.
Lets say I’ve got a third party module and I want to know when the a variable
of some type has changed:
extension UIViewController {
public override var view: UIView {
willSet {
// do something useful here
}
didSet {
// do something useful here
}
}
}
Wouldn’t be handy to inject custom didSet and willSet functions into any
property or computed property?
This would also allow us to build a proper two-way-binding mechanism.
