I believe this would be possible, but it would be a *HUGE* undertaking, on an ongoing basis as Apple adds & modifies APIs.

Granted, it's not like you have to build a NIF that explicitly wraps every single API call. You could probably build up API calls dynamically. (With Objective-C there's NSInvocation which allows one to take an object, selector & parameters and build a call. Pretty sure Swift bridge stuff interfaces to this rather than being a new incompatible replacement--though it's been a while since I used it so my memory is spotty.)
