I’m surprised how painful it is to do trivial things in Swift. All I want to do
is convert NSFont.pointSize to an NSNumber, but I can’t figure out any syntax
the Swift compiler will accept.
My latest fruitless attempt has involved trying to simply cast the value into
something for which

I’ve stopped being surprised at this.
Between the anal type checking and the spew of optionals I spend all my time
fiddling around trying to get a ‘?’ in the
