is it possible to create a generic closure in Swift?

Question

func myfunc(i:T) -> T {
    return i
}

is it possible to make this generic function a closure?

let myfunc = {

I have found some alternative way , you can use Anyobject in your closure and pass any values to your method .

typealias genericCompletion = ((Bool,T,String) -> Void)
struct Student {
    var name:String = "Kishore"
    var age : String = "125"
}
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.createAGenericReturn { (success, object, message) in

        }

        self.createStructGeneric { (success, student, message) in

        }

    }


    func createAGenericReturn(callback:@escaping(genericCompletion)){
        callback(true,434.433 as AnyObject,"kishoreTest")
    }

    func createStructGeneric(callback:@escaping(genericCompletion)){
        callback(true,Student.init() as AnyObject,"kishoreTest")
    }

}

Here you can see I mentioned Generic as Anyobject typealias genericCompletion = ((Bool,T,String) -> Void) , So you can pass any values to it .
