extension
Array
{
	public
	mutating
	func
	popFirst()
		-> Array.Element?
	{
		if self.count > 0
		{
			return self.removeFirst()
		}
		
		return nil
	}
}

Other mutating references to self seem to compile okay (e.g. "self.currentFetcher = nil" or "self.pendingFetchers.remove(at: idx)"). Not sure what's special about this one.
