I think NSNull() should be used, not a struct. I don't think that a struct would be more performant. Or maybe the performance doesn't matter at all in any real-world usage scenario. But you may write a benchmark of a realistic (!) use-case (!) if you think otherwise... would be interesting to see the results.
Keeping with NSNull() also simplifies objc-interoperability. -Michael > Am 23.06.2016 um 06:14 schrieb Alsey Miller via swift-evolution > <swift-evolution@swift.org>: > > Add a struct Null to the Swift 3.0 Foundation value types.
