Do you mean that the regressions Stephen and I have shown have been introduced 
not only by SE-0110, but before SE-0066, and SE-0029?

I don't know. Nobody seemed to care about regressions, so I felt like it was 
high time some light was shed on them.

Writing "feature" with ironic quotes is a bad attitude. Some "features" are the 
quality of life of developers.

When proposals are accepted without user feedback, it's reasonable to expect 
that users come back after the harm has been done. It has happened before, for 
fileprivate (SE-0025). This is the case now. Some real bad harm to the language 
ergonomics has been done.

Again, I'm not talking about inner compiler design: feel free to do whatever is 
reasonable for Swift and the community. But regressions.
