[swift-evolution] [Idea] Expression to retrieve the Objective-C selector of a method

[Russ Bishop]

I agree, we don’t need anything special for this. Let a function reference decay into a selector where appropriate.

For that matter I want properties and subscripts to decay into getter/setter function references in contextually appropriate places as well, but haven’t proposed it yet.

We ought to be able to turn an unbound function reference like UIView.insertSubview into a selector reference in Selector type context, or maybe a typed @convention(selector) function as discussed in another thread, without any explicit get-a-selector operation.
