Just thinking out loud — ‘dynamic’ as an attribute on an object, allowing
arbitrary method calls that are dispatched dynamically...
let foo: @dynamic AnyObject = Foo()
foo.someWeirdMethod()
for thing in things {
(thing as @dynamic).bar()
}
Dynamic as a type:
let foo: dynamic = Foo()
foo.someWeirdMethod()
for thing in things {
(thing as dynamic).bar()
}
Since the dynamic keyword defines a function that goes through runtime
dispatch, the same very runtime dispatch that current AnyObject calls go
through, it would make sense for the new stuff to be called something like
dynamic or dynamic_binding or DynamicObject or whatever.
