[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0088: Modernize libdispatch for Swift 3 naming conventions

[Austin Zheng]

I think this is a great idea and a great proposal. GCD is already a
powerful, elegant tool available to Swift users, and this makes it feel
even more Swift-like.

Feedback/questions:
- Is there a use case for user subclassing of a queue type? If not, should
they be final?
- Is there a reason to use class methods rather than static methods for the
queue types? I was under the impression that static methods would be
preferred unless a good reason exists to dispatch upon metatype.
- Nit: "DispatchWallTime" is spelled "DispatchWalltime" (lowercase 't') in
the code samples.
- Is it allowed/technically possible for non-stdlib code to use
_ObjectiveCBridgable?

Best,
Austin
