[swift-users] KVC - KeyPath in Operation

[somu subscribe]

Thanks a lot Jordan for pointing out the root cause.

The underlying executing and finished properties are readonly properties.

For an Asynchronous operation I had to override it tell when the asynchronous operation completes. 

Since they are readonly properties I am unable to call the super on them to set values.

I can still use String, was just wondering if there was a way to do it using KeyPath. It is more out of enthusiasm to try out the KeyPath feature in the project :) 

Would it be appropriate to file a bug report for the implementation of Operation ?

Thanks and regards,
Muthu
