• SR-2381 Swift 3 (Xcode 8 beta 6) archives booleans in XML plist as integers

Issue Description:

Previously, the expression someBoolVar as NSNumber would produce either kCFBooleanTrue or kCFBooleanFalse. As of Xcode 8 beta 6, this is no longer true. Interestingly, true as NSNumber still produces the correct constants.

import Foundation

let b = true
let x = b as NSNumber
print(x === kCFBooleanTrue)

This should print true but it prints false.
