Using objc-encode crate?

[ubolonton]

This seems to be a improved version of objc type encoding: https://github.com/SSheldon/rust-objc-encode.

Is there a plan to switch to that?

[SSheldon]

Hey @ubolonton! I had prototyped a switch in c2ec92a, but the ergonomics aren't great until #52 is done, and it's a breaking change. So it's mostly just sitting around on hold indeterminately 😛

[ubolonton]

I can try helping with #52.

Regarding breaking change, do you mean the new approach hasn't been thoroughly examined to warrant a breaking change?

[SSheldon]

Ah sorry for dropping off! But yeah, I meant I wanted to make sure I had the best possible API before subjecting users to a breaking change. And with some new feature in rust, a much better way to handle this did arise :)

At this point I'm confident with the objc-encode API and there are some other breaking changes I want for objc (updating to rust 2018), so on master I've updated to use objc-encode in 6092caa.

Awesome! I hope it will be released soon :)
