Hi Philippe, 

Thanks for your response! I have one more question.

>> In general it is because we don't have bridging on Linux.

Will we have it in future? Pardon my ignorance.

That particular issue we could plaster over with generics. In general it is because we don't have bridging on Linux.

Hi Tony/Philippe, 

There've been a few bug reports related to the coercion problems between Swift and Foundation types on Linux. For example this one: https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-2477 (Double/Int don't coerce with NSNumber on Linux). 

Is there any general approach you'd suggest to work around this coercion limitation on Linux?
