This might be difficult. viewControllers is a property used in several classes, e.g. UIPageViewController, UISplitViewController, etc.

Xcode has just given me a new suggestion (probably it noticed that I was not quite happy with its former hint):
	if a.responds(to: #selector(getter: UINavigationController.viewControllers))
but I do not want to be restricted to this special class.
My a is AnyObject and should be treated as such.

Kind regards,

Gerriet.
