Ok, this statement isn’t factually true: I’ll admit that there are two related 
things to this: the GNU ObjC runtime does track some method types, and ObjC 
does have @encode strings, which encode a subset of the ObjC type system.  

While both are true, neither are used by Swift AnyObject lookup, so the rest of 
the points still hold.
