Comment by Jacek (JIRA) Given the performance impact of having multiple dynamic frameworks, would it be possible to bump the priority for this feature? |

Beginning in Xcode 9.0 beta 4, you can now create static libraries containing Swift code. |

Issue Description:
As of now, it is impossible to create static libraries with any swift at all; pure or mixed with Objective-C. Before you tell me that I can use Frameworks, understand that this is not always an option. For example, when building a CLI, you need to embed everything into a single executable. This is possible with static libraries, but not frameworks. Because of this, the only way to create a CLI with any swift code at all (even if you just link to a 3rd party swift library) is by putting it in a statically defined location (ex.
/Frameworks[which brings up many problems such as versioning and uninstallation], in a folder with the app, in some other search path, etc.).Please consider adding support for building static libraries.
