Title: Swift Headers (or lack of)
Ok, Swift does not use header files. My first question about private methods has apparently been answered, in that this was an oversight which will be shortly corrected. I was overjoyed when Objective C removed the need for forward declarations. I can remember screaming at the computer: “it’s in there damit. You’re a computer.  Just find it”. I can understand that now the compiler/linker can do without header files. I have not yet downloaded the new stuff, so maybe this is handled in xcode, but my next question is what about headers for us programmers. If I’m using a class from elsewhere, I don’t want to be looking at a massive implementation file. Is there a provision for just displaying the public definitions?
