[swift-corelibs-dev] Testcases for NSDateFormatter

[Philippe Hausler]

Just to confirm Will is on point for how it works - the only addendum is that if the internal object is not present it that it does regenerate the CFDateFormatter when that is nil.

In this case the iteration versus map has virtually no difference except for a stylistic choice. 

roughly it would turn out like this:

cfSymbols.bridge().map { ($0 as! NSString).bridge() }

I have some outstanding work to bring in a few more things; I have some initial work for attributed strings but that has not been a priority in comparison to some of the other work we have been doing. I will see if I can get that posted here shortly so others can iterate on it.
