If you look at the NSCoder documentation, you'll see 25 methods in the Swift version of the "Encoding General Data" section, and 27 (non-deprecated) in the Objective-C version. `-encodeInt:forKey:` has no Swift equivalent. I'm not sure what the other missing method is.

I think this is probably a bug or design oversight, and I'd recommend you file a radar against Foundation. If this is a primitive method for NSCoding, it needs to be accessible from Swift.
