Found an interesting quirk in corelibs-foundation that ended up costing our CI jobs ~8 minutes vs about 4 seconds after the fix https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-8519

This addresses a long standing feature request - default argument values now appear in the generated interface view: https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/18579

Really impressed to see the continued untangling of name lookup from declaration checking via the request evaluator - its all starting to come together: https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/18539

With the request evaluator, new function type representation, SubstitutionMap redesign and removal of curried parameter lists we’re finally paying off a lot of tech debt - the implementation is catching up to the language

Interesting things happening in expression checker land too - here @gregtitus is porting his Optional unwrapping fixits to the new diagnostics framework: https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/18699
