Github user creker commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/539#issuecomment-147568526 You read my mind. Was thinking about both features you mention - somehow deal with conflicting names (shouldn't be too much of them) and store all value types in NSNumber. But latter will cause the fields to loose their type. Still, compiler options for both of them would be nice.
