I'm leaning towards in favour, but very marginally as to be frank I'm not that 
bothered either way. The subscript is a definite hybrid of property and 
function, but then so is a computed property, only the subscript has the 
possibility of arguments, which makes it slightly more function oriented.

So I don't know, I'd say the fact that a subscript with setter makes it more 
like a property overall, but again it's a very slim difference.

Not really; I don't think anyone is losing any sleep over having to use 
function style declaration. It might be a little easier for newbies to use the 
colon, but I'm not sure as the duality doesn't make either style a clear 
winner; really we'd need more information about which people find easier to use.

Both styles are Swifty, this may be very marginally better, but it's a tough 
call.

Quick read, it's pretty straightforward though.
