Sorry, this fell off my radar. I’ll test and merge again.

The limitation is that the NSCoding protocol cannot be applied to Swift struct types, only class types. On Darwin, the class also must be a subclass of NSObject. This last limitation may not exist on Linux, but you should be aware that if you encode a non-NSObject subclass on Linux then you would not be able to decode it on Darwin.
