The reasoning behind these keeping NS is that almost all of the mutable copying items have a correlative structural type; e.g. Data, Array, Dictionary, Set etc. > * NSDirectoryEnumerator NSDirectoryEnumerator is going to be hoisted into FileManager.DirectoryEnumerator (I think the proposal may have missed this one) > * NSEnumerationOptions > * NSEnumerator NSEnumerator is used to enumerate the NS collections of references > * NSExpression This is very tied to KVC and reference collections > * NSNull Not really applicable in swift since you can have an array of options etc. > * NSSecureCoding > * NSSortOptions > > Missing from the "Hoisted types" list: > > * NSAffineTransformStruct This one is actually being renamed a bit differently; it will be called AffineTransform to the counterpart reference type NSAffineTransform > * NSDateComponentsFormatterUnitsStyle This is missing from the proposal and should be listed as DateComponentsFormatter.UnitsStyle > * NSDateComponentsFormatterZeroFormattingBehavior This is missing from the proposal and should be listed as DateComponentsFormatter.ZeroFormattingBehavior > * NSRoundingMode This is missing from the proposal and should be listed as Decimal.RoundingMode > > -- Ben > > > _______________________________________________ > swift-evolution mailing list > swift-evolution@swift.org > https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution The others I need to follow up on with Tony to determine if they need better refinements. _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
