Dot-prefixing considered ugly

I'm not sure I can express how much I disagree with the OP

I am not sure how can you disagree with a question

@tera

do you think that Swift would have been better off or worse with the following change?

@tera

Which of the three methods you'd prefer, "no prefix dots", "current swift" or "always explicit prefix"?

@ExFalsoQuodlibet

In fact, to transform types into types I usually extend the destination with a new init

That's exactly what I'd hate. Would prefer a.b.c.d to d(c(b(a)))) any day.

@TeamPuzel

If someone were to add such a declaration in a large file you wouldn't realise you have a bug.

was that "let one" a global? In that case - no, static will be found first, assuming the change follows the rules:

@tera

// - use local variable if exists
// - or use instance variable if exists (in which case self should be captured strongly explicitly or implicitly)
// - or use static variable if exists (in case of enum could be an enumeration constant)
// - or use global variable if exists
// - otherwise emit an error
