Come on. 64b support is different than flashy animations and you know it.

Apple has a habit of making every developer repeat the same basic work
that should be part of the system. Even with ICU included, you still
have to jump through a number of hoops to use it with NSStrings. They
know it (based on a conversation I had in 2006 at WWDC).

Rather than fix the problem once, they basically force each developer
to "fix" the problem. And this is a pattern that is decades old.
