I know it’s not with Swift 3. Hopefully people on the dev team are thinking
farther ahead.

I’m asking about binary compatibility, not source compatibility; they’re not
the same. For example, the Objective-C language has gone through many major
changes since 2001, but the runtime has only broken binary compatibility once
(and that was done in a way that didn’t affect any existing code, by putting it
into the 64-bit transition on OS X and into the brand-new iOS.)
