 ## Source compatibility
 
-The language changes are additive and therefore have no implications on source compatibility. The change to `Task.init` in the standard library does have the potential to isolate some closures that previously were inferred to be `nonisolated`. Prior behavior in those cases could be restored, if desired, by explicitly declaring the closure as `nonisolated`.

 It is worth noting that this does not affect the isolation semantics for actor-isolated types that make use of isolated parameters. It is currently impossible to access self in these cases, and even with this new inheritance rule that remains true.

 ## Alternatives considered
 
-When this problem was originally brought up, there were several alternatives suggested.
+The typical `nonisolated` modifier form (without `@`) was considered, but its ambiguities with type-inferred closure parameters are problematic, particularly disambiguating `{ nonisolated parameter in ... }` as a modifier followed by a single parameter vs both as a bound pair of tokens.
 
-The most obvious is to just not use `Task` in combination with non-Sendable types in this way. Restructuring the code to avoid needing to rely on isolation inheritance in the first place.
