[Accepted] SE-0089: Renaming String.init<T>(_: T)

Proposal link: swift-evolution/0089-rename-string-reflection-init.md at master · apple/swift-evolution · GitHub

Hello Swift Community,

The second review of SE-0089: "Renaming String.init<T>(_: T)" ran from June 4...7. The proposal is *accepted* for Swift 3.

The feedback from the community on this second round was light, which indicates that the extensive iteration on earlier rounds brought this to a good place. The core team discussed other possibilities for the parameter label (e.g. from: instead of describing:) but ended up agreeing that a more explicit “describing:” label is the best fit for this API.

Many thanks to Austin Zheng and Brent Royal-Gordon for driving this discussion, iterating on the design, and writing a great proposal! I filed SR-1881 to track implementation of this work. This would be a great project for someone who wants to work on the standard library.
