NSAttributedString.string does not involve a conversion.  The underlying string 
is part of NSAttributedString's data model.  The documentation for the method 
explicitly says, "For performance reasons, this property returns the current 
backing store of the attributed string object."

I don't know if there's a conversion to create a Swift string from that, but 
you don't have to.  I believe you can work with NSString in Swift.
