I just noticed that performSelectorInBackground(_:withObject:) has<br>
been mapped to performSelector(inBackground:with:) in Swift 3. So:<br>
<br>
performSelector(inBackground: #selector(doStuff), with: nil)<br>
<br>
This seems confusing to me – the "inBackground" label has little to do<br>
with the selector that is attached to it. It's possible this has been<br>
through careful API review and if so I apologize. On the other hand,<br>
if it's an oversight is there time for it to be looked at again?<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
