Why did they change a lot of the variable class types to id? Is that an optimisation I haven't heard of?

  `instancetype` is relatively new addition to Objective-C/Clang. I assume their version just doesn't support it yet, since the regression to `id`.

    `instancetype` was a few years ago. I'd be worried if they're only supporting ObjC without any modernisations like that and subscripts etc. But that's not what I'm talking about. Here they've literally replaced all type declarations with `id` (not just return types where you'd normally see `instancetype`). Seems odd.

      I haven't read the code. But maybe they did that during porting. It's easier to get code to compile and come back to fix it later. Maybe they haven't gotten around to it?
