Congrats to my Swift colleagues for #finally pushing @c over the finish line! Been a long time coming.

@jrose But but, it’s Objective-C w/o the C?! Have we’ve been lied to all the time?

@jrose I also got module selectors in, so it’s a good release for #finally fans.

Context: Swift has not officially had a way to expose plain old functions to C until now. Why? Because it had Objective-C interoperability first, and so deciding whether C functions should support everything ObjC does or not was…complicated.
