I recently used the CFNotificationCenter APIs, where I needed an UnsafePointer from an Unmanaged and the process was a bit surprising. Good to know first off I was even doing it the correct way, and I think this change substantially improves it.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br>        * Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?</div><div class="gmail_quote">Yes, I imagine the use case of a pointer is the most wanted.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br>        * Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?</div><div class="gmail_quote">Each part with Unmanaged and UnsafePointer seem well thought out and logical, and this change fits in well.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br>        * If you have you used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?</div><div class="gmail_quote">The only language I can think of is Objective-C, and I think this matches the flow of __bridge and const void * well.</div><div class="gmail_quote"> </div><div class="gmail_quote"><br>Patrick<br></div>
