I don't really expect this sort of syntactic sugar to be popular enough to make it through swift-evolution, and I don't think it's worth the distraction from more important priorities at this time, but for what it's worth, I've enjoyed this feature in other languages that support it. It plays a small part in making code more focused by eliminating unnecessary syntax.
I could be wrong, but I'm not so sure that this would actually be source breaking. Even if you have something like this: let points = [ Point( x: 1.0, y: 2.0 ), Point( x: 3.0, y: 4.0 ) ] Proper implementation of this feature wouldn't suddenly interpret `Point(` as its own element.
