For completeness I should add that there are other cases where you need to know the exact type: * When formatting a floating-point number, you should use 6 decimal places if it's a float, 16 if it's a double. (If you use all 15 for a float, you end up with results like “0.999”

[swift-users] Foundation on Linux `CFBooleanGetTypeID`/`CFGetTypeID`

I am trying to run some Swift code that relies on Foundation on Linux (it is thoughtbot's Argo library if anyone wants to know the exact code). There is a fairly simple extension to NSNumber that looks like: import Foundation extension NSNumber { var isBool: Bool { return
