There were at least two possible solutions:
* Rename @noescape to @nonescaping
* Rename @noescape to @nonescaping, and make @nonescaping the default case
Everyone agrees that we would better resolve issues with @noescape until
Swift 3.
Has anyone prepared a proposal? Has anyone submitted a pull request?
Do you mean replace @noescape with its opposite, @escaping?

Hmm, I guess you are right, there would be no point keeping @nonescaping,
then.

Not sure what the outcome was. I don't see any open PRs to merge the
proposal into the swift-evolution repo.

IIRC, there were at least the following counter-arguments:
1. One must break API and ABI compatibility to add @escaping to an existing
function
2. @nonescaping case is actually quite as common as @escaping
Frankly speaking, I support both of this arguments. I'll also add another
counter-argument.
Lazy map and filter will be marked as @escaping. Now consider the following
code:

`transform` will be marked as @escaping, despite that `transform` never actually escapes `sum`.
I believe that we should not accept nonescaping-by-default until we get a powerful lifetimes system, as in Rust.
I think it makes sense to create a mini-proposal just for renaming of @noescape to @nonescaping.
There is already a thread for this conversation; please respond there.

Trent Nadeau had prepared a proposal on Chris Lattner's recommendation, and there was a discussion thread a few weeks back: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.swift.evolution/19756\.
Not sure what the outcome was. I don't see any open PRs to merge the proposal into the swift-evolution repo.
