Hello Swift Community, and…

if Calendar.current.identifier == .gregorian {
    print("Happy new year! 🎉")
}

I would like to propose that the MapKit framework functions be updated to 
conform to the Swift API Design Guidelines.

For example, this is how you would currently determine if the user is currently 
within the visible map view:

let userPoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(mapView.userLocation.coordinate)
let mapRect = mapView.visibleMapRect
let inside = MKMapRectContainsPoint(mapRect, userPoint)

This should be more easily accomplished, such as by doing this:

let userPoint = mapView.userLocation.coordinate.mapPoint
let inside = mapView.visibleMapRect.contains(userPoint)

There are 39 functions that should be updated:

<https://developer.apple.com/reference/mapkit/1612565-mapkit_functions?language=swift>

I realize that this proposal is out of scope for Swift 4. So I will develop it 
for consideration in a future release, and keep it updated on my fork until 
it’s ready to submit. All feedback welcomed and appreciated.
