Why would it fade quickly? Do we expect the concept of keypaths to go away over time? If so, why are we even designing a syntax for keypaths? > The core team discussed single quotes, and decided that we want to save them > for something in the string/character realm. Are they to be saved for something specific or is this just because a lot of languages use single quotes for character literals? Why is this association any more sacred than an association with Cocoa string keypaths? l8r Sean _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
