You would need to spell out #keyPath(Foo, .firstName) here, or decorate the 
type on keyPaths like so:

let keyPaths : [KeyPath<Foo, String>]  = ... or let keyPaths : 
[PartialKeyPath<Foo>] = ...  to use the short hand in your value declaration.  
The difference between the two is that the PartialKeyPath lets you refer to 
non-string properties, whereas the other is more strongly typed.

The same would be true on the inference:

> let keyPaths = [#keyPath(Foo, .firstName), #keyPath(Foo, .lastName)]

Infers that keyPaths is a [KeyPath<Foo, String>] since everything agrees;

let keyPaths = [#keyPath(Foo, .firstName), #keyPath(Foo, .age)] // suppose it 
returns Int

Would only be able to infer up to PartialKeyPath<Foo>.
