[swift-users] What is the intended response to Array change notification for dependents?

[Rien]

I don’t think there is a single answer to this. It is all highly dependant on what the application does with the info.
Sometimes it will indeed be necessary to rebuild the entire gui, other times it is enough to simply insert a new table cell.
