This Swift programming article discusses the limitations of traditional type extensions and proposes a better method using protocols. It demonstrates how defining functionality in a protocol (like PasteboardImageReader) and extending it makes code more versatile, testable, and discoverable, with examples for UIKit and AppKit pasteboards.
