I would claim that perhaps it should be: open func perform(inBackground aSelector: Selector, with anArgument: Any?)
That way it matches the completion family of the rest of performing. But if that is the case we should take a look at the onMainThread ones as well so they look like this perhaps: open func perform(onMainThread aSelector: Selector, with arg: Any?, waitUntilDone wait: Bool, modes array: [String]?) That way the call sites would look like this: myObject.perform(inBackground: #selector(doBackgroundStuff), with: nil) myObject.perform(onMainThread: #selector(doMainThreadStuff), with: nil) myObject.perform(#selector(doDelayedThings), with: nil, afterDelay: 0.7) let result = myObject.perform(#selector(doThingsNow), with: nil).takeUnretainedValue() > On Aug 16, 2016, at 8:46 AM, Shawn Erickson via swift-corelibs-dev > <swift-corelibs-dev@swift.org> wrote: > > It is following the naming methodology of a sentence like structure > "performed selector in background <selector> with <object>".
