The proposal has been <b class="">accepted</b> with one modification: numeric values bridged to NSNumber will maintain their type identity (e.g., an Int8 bridged to an NSNumber can be cast via as!/as? to an Int8) while other instances of NSNumber (e.g., those created in Objective-C) can be cast to any numeric type that can represent their value. This matches the existing bridging behavior introduced in id-to-Any bridging (<a href="https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0116-id-as-any.md" class="">SE-0116</a>). The proposal text has been updated accordingly.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>- Doug</div></body></html>
