Sorry for not being clear. This is a breaking API change, and I think it would be nice of us to keep existing API in place marking it as deprecated for Swift 2.2 and later remove it in Swift 3. Here is an example <https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/stdlib/public/core/Index.swift#L76> of what I meant by ‘deprecation magic’.
