[swift-evolution] [Accepted] SE-0064: Referencing the Objective-C selector of property getters and setters

[David Hart]

Hello Robert,

My comment below:

> Per my reading of SE-0022, would SE-0064 institute the first exception to the #selector expression where the expression is not a reference to a method?

Indeed. But I don’t see the issue. It still generates a selector for an Objective-C method.

I don’t think get/set was specifically mentioned. My personal opinion is that it does not read well because it reads as an action.
