[swift-users] Instantiate Swift class from string

[Matthew Davies]

I am using the Swift build tool & package manager. I'm trying to figure out
how to instantiate a class from a string. For instance, in PHP I can do:

$instance = new $className

I can (in the iOS & OS X runtimes) use "NSClassFromString", but this is
unavailable in the Swift build tool. How can I (or can I?) get the same
functionality?
