So we’ll have:
- isUniquelyReferencedNonObjC(object): true iff object is uniquely referenced
and NonObjC
- isUniquelyReferencedUnsafe(object): true iff object is uniquely reference,
assert NonObjC
I’m going to be picky. The “Unsafe” suffix doesn’t make sense to me. If you
think this is an unsafe API then it should be:
“unsafeIsUniquelyReferenced”.
But I don’t really see how it is unsafe in the usual sense. If you want to
convey that the programmer needs to satisfy some precondition, which is not
generally associated with unsafety, then it should be:
“isUniquelyReferencedAssumingNonObjC”
Frankly, the type was a nicer way to do this, by I understand removing it from
the API surface.
