-1 from me. The library in question was exploiting a bug in the compiler. I went and checked the officially published Swift 1.0 grammar and “$” is not a valid identifier. I’m sympathetic to the argument that the behavior shipped in three major versions but ultimately all this does is create an opportunity for cute tricks.
