Hi Tony,

Looking forward to all this on Linux!

On the same topic, I looked at the Measurement Swift type and did a diff 
between the shims in the swift repo and the version in corelibs-foundation and 
saw quite a few differences. Is this something that can be improved or it is a 
consequence of the platform differences?

Thanks,
David.
