Compile error: partial application of 'mutating' method is not allowed: what is "partial application"?

Using Swift

Two things:

  • I don't think we should be talking about "partial application" in diagnostics; we should say something like "use without an argument list".

  • There's really no reason we couldn't support this. In some cases, the function would have to be non-escaping, but that's okay. We would just need to initiate any accesses associated with the self argument within the closure rather than trying to capture the being-accessed self value.

Please file a bug.
