[Swift-user] more tutorial issues

In Section 3.6, I see the following:

This is useful when you want to explicitly name input and output files for your program. For example, 'outfile' in exercise HELLOWORLD.

anonymous mapping - no name is specified in the source code. A name is automatically generated for the file. This is useful for intermediate files that are only referenced through SwiftScript, such as 'outfile' in exercise ANONYMOUSFILE. A variable declaration is mapped anonymously by ommitting any mapper definition, like this:


The problem here is that there are no exercises called HELLOWORLD or ANONYMOUSFILE in this document.  The former could be called "the exercise in section 2", and the latter, "the exercise in section 3.3".


Also, a few lines later in section 3.6, I see

TODO: introduce @v syntax.

It seems to me that this shouldn't still be in the tutorial, but should be replaced with text that does this.
