In some types of projects this comes up rather frequently. Both in client / UI programming and server side / business logic.

You know, what I would like to see instead of this would be a revival of the ‘automatic protocol forwarding’ concept that was pitched here very early on in the swift-evolution process:

This would be a much more flexible way to solve the same problem, and could also solve some problems that we used to use methods like forwardingTargetForSelector: for in Objective-C.
