@owensd Do you think this is fixable? It looks to me like all the possible alternatives have bad points.
David Owens II ‏@owensd 7 Oct 2015

@mjtsai an extension that adds those methods back works ok.

@owensd It cleans up the code, but then you're still doing lots of conversions under the hood.

@mjtsai yeah, that kinds stinks. Native swift versions might help, but I don’t know the perf of those.

@owensd This is one of the things that worries me about Swift. Often no native equivalent, and no way to use Obj-C version w/o overhead.
