Thanks for the clarification, Tony. I've created a PR.

Subject: Re: [swift-corelibs-dev] NSRegularExpression - NS prefix not dropped on Darwin

Hi Pushkar,

We decided to keep the NS on NSRegularExpression because we know that a strong goal for the Swift language is to have built-in support for regex. We wanted to be cautious about taking the name without knowing more about how that feature would shake out.

We should get a JIRA filed or a PR up to put the NS back for the class name in swift-corelibs-foundation.

Thanks,
- Tony

Hello, 

The NS prefix from NSRegularExpression seems to have been dropped only in open source Foundation. On Darwin the class is still called NSRegularExpression.


I went through the Drop NS prefix proposal but couldn't relate this to any of the rules mentioned there (except for a possibility that we will have a RegularExpression value type in future only on Darwin!)

Is there any particular reason for this difference?

Thanks in advance!
