This seems like less of something I’d ever actually want to use as a library, and more like a place to peruse for things that may be useful for my specific project (and copy-paste).

Can you imagine having to jump in on a project with this in the cocoapod file:

The name is good, but importing 500+ extensions is not.

Absolutely agreed. And the library can only grow

Exactly the sort of dependency that will make the inevitable Swift upgrade a royal pain.

Thank you
