Re: [swift-evolution] [Pitch] Rename Mirror

I also don't think this is a worthy change. Mirror can be extended or even changed in the future to become a true reflection base class. No benefits added and breaking code are to me a reason to not go forward with this. L On 21 July 2016 at 22:05, Anton Zhilin via swift-evolution

Re: [swift-evolution] [Pitch] Rename Mirror

Somehow I did not send a copy to evolution the first time: I have to agree. Stopping the discussion on this until after Swift 3. And response from Dmitri: Thanks! Just wanted to be clear -- I am not against reflection. And I am concerned whether the current design of Mirror will work for the

Re: [swift-evolution] [Pitch] Rename Mirror

I agree with Dmitri. I would rather see a proper design for reflection (similar to Completing Generics) before we start making any changes to the existing machinery. Best, Austin On Thu, Jul 21, 2016 at 4:39 PM, Dmitri Gribenko via swift-evolution < swift-evolution@swift.org> wrote: > On Thu,
