Hello,

The newer version of the libdispatch overlay (as of 8ac413a) looks good: thanks 
for your work Matt!

It replaced async(when: ) with asyncAfter(deadline: ); however dictionaries say:

deadline |ˈdedˌlīn| 
noun
1 the latest time or date by which something should be completed

dispatch_async’s timestamp is the *earliest* time at which work can be 
*initiated*, so “deadline” is completely backwards.

If a label is necessary, “time” would seem just fine, given the new name of the 
function: asyncAfter(time: ).
Personally, I don’t think a label is necessary anymore, since the first 
parameter of asyncAfter is a timestamp type.

Cheers,
Guillaume Lessard
