Check Google, or duckduckgo?
It seems to come up in a variety of crashes. I’m not sure that I could pick 
Swift out of them, but they pretty exclusively seem to be Yosemite.

It does seem to sort of have the old Apple thing of using hex to make words 
that are used as magic. But not completely consistently. You would think you 
could be even more creative these days with 64 bit addresses to work with. I 
tried to narrow my search to Apple sites to see if I could find it mentioned in 
doc somewhere but came up empty.
