I think there’s a recent thread on this very topic:

> [@State of the Memberwise Initializer](https://forums.swift.org/t/state-of-the-memberwise-initializer/17168):
>
> State of the Memberwise Initializer Prolog Hello Evolution, I want to discuss where we are with the current memberwise initializer for structures and where I wish to see this initializer evolve. Refer to [SE-0018](https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0018-flexible-memberwise-initialization.md) and [SE-0018 Rationale](https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mon-20160111/006469.html). I do not speak for the author here, but I'm rathering pulling ideas and references from SE-0018 to formulate this post. From here on out I'm going to refer to the memberwise initializer as MWI Note that this is not technically a complete resurrection of SE-0018…

If we have some new stuff to add, perhaps it would be best to continue there?
