The 6-year-old in the story was presumably led to believe that Santa can visit every house in the world in one night. Logically, normal human limitations (like a finite capacity to eat cookies) do not apply to Santa.

Swift works the way this article describes, except that instead of the rules being built in to the compiler, they are defined by the standard library, and you can define your own precedence levels and associativity for custom operators. ht

Yep, the pbxproj format sucks. The good news is that each version of Xcode adds more power to the Swift Package Manager manifest file.
