The grammar says a function returns this: attributes-opt type

A type is

‌ type → array-type  dictionary-type  function-type  type-identifier tuple-type 
 optional-type  implicitly-unwrapped-optional-type protocol-composition-type  
metatype-type

A strict reading of the grammar says that a tuple-type is only one of the
many types that can be returned.  Also, (Int) and Int can be used
interchangeably because the type of (Int) is not a tuple (according to the 
book). It is an Int.

(Type) seems to be magic syntax.
