With respect to URL specifically, that it's a Foundation type may change
the timeline as well. Various improvements to the Foundation API (and URL
in particular) have been proposed here, but if I remember correctly, the
stated goal was first to have a complete Swift version of Foundation,
preserving the existing API as exactly as possible with no additions or
subtractions, and only then to consider Swifty evolution of the APIs. I
don't think the first step is complete yet.
