Like with arrays, dictionaries and sets, it can have new APIs that are quite different and still bridge (in the Apple version of the Swift compiler) to Cocoa classes and APIs. There may end up being *two* flavors of string format specifiers. Or, perhaps the changes might percolate back to Cocoa. Lightweight generics are something along that line. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
