Howdy. I've been building (on Linux) the latest off of master for Swift and the accompanying swift-corelibs-foundation. I can see where the great renaming is in full swing and have been updating my code accordingly.
One area where I'm a bit confused is with the new API for NotificationCenter and Notification. In the past bare strings were acceptable for postNotificationName and addObserverForName. Yet now constructing a Notification and Notification.Name seem to be a bit unwieldy. Example: let ConnectedNotification = Notification(name:Notification.Name(rawValue:"ConnectedNotification")) That seems to be quite convoluted and I'm not sure why there isn't a convenience init that allows for let ConnectedNotification = Notification(name:"ConnectedNotification") Then, the APIs for post and observe seem to be mismatched: NotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotification(ConnectedNotification) vs. NotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserverForName(ConnectedNotification.name) I would think an addObserverForNotification would be more appropriate here. Finally, combining topics a bit, but they are related: let ConnectedNotification = Notification(name:Notification.Name(rawValue:"ConnectedNotification")) let DisconnectedNotification = Notification(name:Notification.Name(rawValue:"DisconnectedNotification")) These notifications are for the same API, so I'm assuming I'm "doing this wrong" and that the more Swifty way would be too put these in a struct or enum, so I'm curious as to what folks recommend.
