[swift-evolution] VisualFoundation Framework

[T.J. Usiyan]

I would like to emphasize how much I would appreciate a standard type such
as this
```
public enum OriginLocation {
    case lowerLeft
    case upperLeft

    #if os(OSX)
    public static let defaultPlatformLocation: OriginLocation = .lowerLeft
    #endif

    #if os(iOS)
    public static let defaultPlatformLocation: OriginLocation = .upperLeft
    #endif
}
```
