Convert NSArray to Swift Array

I’m currently using obj.types.allObjects as Type[], but that feels like a hack/workaround.

Then revise your feelings. What you’re doing is exactly how you do “type-cast / convert the NSArray to Array<Type>[].”

An NSArray always arrives into Swift as containing AnyObject (i.e. an Array<AnyObject>, aka AnyObject[]). Casting it down to a specific type, if you know that it contains all one type, is up to you, and how you are doing it is exactly what you are supposed to do.

EDIT In Swift 2.0 and the new iOS 9 APIs, an NSArray will often arrive correctly typed, and no cast will be needed.

EDIT 2 In Swift 3.0, an NSArray that is not correctly typed, though uncommon, will arrive as containing Any instead of AnyObject and will still have to be cast down to a specific type.
