The rule changes are as follows:
* All functions (introduced with the 'func' keyword) have argument
labels for arguments beyond the first, by default. Methods are no
longer special in this regard.
* The presence of a default argument no longer implies an argument
label.
The actual changes to the parser and printer are fairly simple; the
rest of the noise is updating the standard library, overlays, tests,
etc.
With the standard library, this change is intended to be API neutral:
I've added/removed #'s and _'s as appropriate to keep the user
interface the same. If we want to separately consider using argument
labels for more free functions now that the defaults in the language
have shifted, we can tackle that separately.

Swift SVN r27704
The performance regression that occurred when ++ and -- were added as
requirements to the Index protocols was due to the fact that it caused a
dubious hack of mine to be bypassed: when treated as indices, integer
types are incremented and decremented without overflow checking. While
technically justifiable (see the r20576 commit message), this makes the
standard library extremely fragile and makes successor() and
predecessor() mathematically unsafe. We really should see what the
optimizer team can do to make that hack unnecessary.
In the meantime, instead of dispatching through ++ and --, use a
special, defaulted _[successor|predecessor]InPlace() method to give
indices their own, customizable in-place inc/dec-rement path.

The standard library has grown significantly, and we need a new
directory structure that clearly reflects the role of the APIs, and
allows future growth.
See stdlib/{public,internal,private}/README.txt for more information.
