Swift Foundation has an incomplete implementation of
NSClassFromString/NSStringFromClass (link:

<https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/master/Foundation/NSObjCRuntime.swift#L230-L282>)
due to a lack of a standardised method of encoding nested Swift classes, nor
other Swift types.
I would think that given
module Contacts
class Person {
struct Address {
class Postcode {}
}
}
Postcode would be encoded as Contacts.Person.Address.Postcode. Since it is not
possible to have two different types with the same identifier in the same
namespace (i.e. an enum/a class/a struct with the same name at the same
declaration level) the encoding would similarly be simple. May I proceed under
that assumption or are there ABI stability issues I have yet to consider?
