When I try it, the “protocol” is syntax highlighted as a keyword, so I suspect 
that’s the first problem. Taking a cue from the declaration of NSXPCInterface 
itself, I can fix that problem like this (using a protocol that exists for me, 
just for this test):

        let b = NSXPCInterface( `protocol`: NSTableViewDelegate )

After that, the compiler gives another error, and offers to fix it to:

        let b = NSXPCInterface( `protocol`: NSTableViewDelegate.self )

which compiled without error.

Then I tried declaring a protocol called ‘Xpc_CommonProtocol’ and using it 
instead:

        protocol Xpc_CommonProtocol {}

        let b = NSXPCInterface( `protocol`: Xpc_CommonProtocol.self )

and that fails with a hard-to-interpret error about type “Protocol”. Fiddling 
around, I changed it to:

        @objc protocol Xpc_CommonProtocol {}

        let b = NSXPCInterface( `protocol`: Xpc_CommonProtocol.self )

and it compiled. I guess it makes sense that it has to be an Obj-C protocol, 
but getting there isn’t at all obvious.
