</span><p>Classes aren’t the only reference types in Swift, functions are also reference types, but there is no way to express something like _any function_.</p>
<p>The question is, if the *new* reference types will be objects or something different. Otherwise we’ll simply need to add <code>AnyReference</code> or something similar to that.</p>
<p>There was a huuuuge talk about <code>AnyValue</code> vs. <code>AnyObject</code> last year, and I’m totally convinced with <code>AnyObject</code>. The <code>Any</code> prefix also indicates that it’s an existential which is correct in this context.</p>
