Triggering Examples

var array = ↓NSArray()

var calendar: ↓NSCalendar? = nil

_ = ↓NSURLRequest.CachePolicy.reloadIgnoringLocalCacheData

_ = ↓NSNotification.Name("com.apple.Music.playerInfo")

let keyValuePair: (Int) -> (↓NSString, ↓NSString) = {
  let n = "\($0)" as ↓NSString; return (n, n)
}
dictionary = [↓NSString: ↓NSString](uniqueKeysWithValues:
  (1...10_000).lazy.map(keyValuePair))

extension Foundation.Notification.Name {
    static var reachabilityChanged: Foundation.↓NSNotification.Name {
        return Foundation.Notification.Name("org.wordpress.reachability.changed")
