Strongly +1, and I fully agree with David Hart draft.

As an app developer that works with Swift everyday, this will fix most of
my pain-points with scoped access. It will not only ease a very popular use
of extensions, but when asking a new developer this is the default that
makes more sense.

Being selfish, with this proposal, you could even delete fileprivate, I
would never use it or recommend it. If you want a type private to a file,
enclose it under other type.
