Summary: I can use a trailing comma in a list of parameters to construct a Swift collect object like so: let foo = [ "this", "that", "other", ] I mean the comma after `"other"`. But I can't use a trailing comma in a function parameter list: let threeDoubles = String[]( count: 3, repeatedValue: "", ) It's that comma after `""` that's not allowed. The error is "Expected expression in list of expressions". It would be nice to optionally be able to have that comma, especially if the arguments to a function are variadic: It's easier to add and remove arguments without having to remember to edit the final line. Diffs look better, too: only an added or removed line is highlighted; no need to highlight the addition or removal of a comma in the final line. Most dynamic languages allow this syntax for lists of arguments, FWIW (though JavaScript and JSON notably don't, which is super irritating). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pass a list of arguments to a function 2. Put in a trailing comma Expected Results: No error. Actual Results: Compile-time error: Expected expression in list of expressions Version: Xcode 6 Notes: Version 6.0 (6A215l)
