[swift-corelibs-dev] Need of inputs for NSExpression

[Tony Parker]

Sure! We can have a discussion here about what you’ve done, or if you are feeling up to it, you can put up a PR with some of your code.

Keep in mind that our #1 goal is API compatibility with the Darwin Foundation, so while it’s tempting to reinvent the thing from scratch to make it better for Swift, we aren’t doing that (yet).
