Notes from Swift core team 2016-01-04 design discussion

To help keep proposals moving forward, the Swift core team has set aside some time specifically for design discussions of upcoming proposals. Below are some rough notes from the discussion this week.

These are informal comments, intended to guide the proposals in directions that draw constructive feedback. You are welcome to ignore the feedback, agree with it, or disagree with it. As always, the formal decision doesn't happen until after the review period ends.

Mainly thoughts on the Limiting @objc inference proposal.
