If same file is the direction that the proposal is leaning toward, what’s stopping you from creating an internal (or private) implementation that’s not deprecated. You could then call that via the public, deprecated method/property? i.e. ```swift @available(*, deprecated, message: "use 'phoneNumbers' instead") public var phoneNumber: String? { get { return _phoneNumber } set { _phoneNumber = newValue } } private var _phoneNumber: String? ``` Am I missing something that would prevent this from working? I can see that what you’re proposing would negate the need for the private backing property/method, but it seems like it’s introducing complexity for the few times you might need this. thanks, Tony ---------- Tony Arnold +61 411 268 532 http://thecocoabots.com/ ABN: 14831833541 _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
