The goal is valid, but I do have an issue with the 'canImport'. In my world it's not because you can import something that you want to use it. So for conditional compile code, I see this more as a 'didImport'. Unfortunately for the conditional import, since I'm on the page of it's not because you can, that you should; I think it better serve by checking against the os() or arch(). Though, there is a need to ask to import something that might not exist; will this require both 'canImport' and 'didImport', or should we, along my 'didImport', include a 'weakImport/quietImport/importIfExist' which ignores failure to import? > * Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to > Swift?
