I’m certainly willing to adjust API to better match convention and guidelines. However, part of the proposal’s basis is the popularity of the Alamofire implementation (which is rather similar to the antitypical one in regards to additional API offered). Adding special syntax for it isn’t really something I want to do, as ever bit of that needs additional justification beyond the fact that’s it’s already in use.
