[swift-users] CNLabeledValue var

[Hooman Mehr]

Ouch!

This is a side effect of ObjC lightweight generics being imported as Swift generics in Swift 3.0.

Since there is no common superclass that satisfies NSCopying & NSSecureCoding and the fact that NSSecureCoding has static requirements means you can’t do it (at least without hacks such as extending NSObject to conform to both protocols or creating a wrapper class and creating a non-generic subclass of CNLabeledValue and using it instead).

For now, you have to use  

var toExcludeOrCopy : AnyObject?

This is worthy of a bug report and points to a serious issue: The “limitations” that result from importing ObjC lightweight generics as Swift generics. One possible solution can be implementation of “Enhanced Existentials <https://lists.swift.org/pipermail/swift-evolution/Week-of-Mon-20170102/029919.html>”.
