Summary:
With the Cocoa frameworks, it is common to create an object and then set several of its properties. For example:

    let action = UIMutableUserNotificationAction()
    action.identifier = "REPLY"
    action.title = NSLocalizedString("Reply", comment: "Reply")
    action.activationMode = .Foreground
    action.destructive = false
    action.authenticationRequired = true

To make such code less noisy, it would be nice if Swift provided a "property initialization" syntax, similar to the "object initializer" syntax in C#. For example, the above could be written as

    let action = UIMutableUserNotificationAction() {
        .identifier = "REPLY",
        .title = NSLocalizedString("Reply", comment: "Reply"),
        .activationMode = .Foreground,
        .destructive = false,
        .authenticationRequired = true
    }

This would lead to more concise, readable code, and reduce the temptation to create lots of convenience initializers with different combinations of parameters.
