maybe this?
{
capture weak foo, loo, poo // "capture list", if present
capture unowned bar, baz, booz // shall be at the beginning
capture weak delegate = self.delegate! // before anything else
foo()
...
}
compare to the current:
{
[
weak foo, weak loo, weak poo
unowned bar, unowned baz, unowned booz
weak delegate = self.delegate!
] in
foo()
...
}
a bit more explicit / expressive, looks like ordinary statements, and
doesn't have that strange "in" at the end.
