I am quite against this change as it changes an understandable albeit some 
people may not think of it as perfect syntax with a syntax that is IMHO 
confusing actually. 

The -> symbol in much of Swift, especially in methods and method like bits like 
this one, is clearly understood as specifying what is being returned to the 
caller while the :  symbol is more prevalently associated with protocol 
conformance and subclassing for example.

No, as I do not feel there is a problem actually.

No, the change is unnecessary in my opinion and not an improvement over what 
the language offers.

I do not think any language I have used would mix conformance/subtyping with 
the syntax for returning arguments.

Followed the e-mail thread and read the proposal.
