My mistake, I misread the proposal. What Nichi appears to be suggesting is an assignment that only happens when `b` has a value. I would hesitate to spell that `?=` since that's so similar to '? =', but perhaps it's useful, though there are many ways to spell that already. -Joe _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
