Summary:
iOS 8 introduces a Quick Reply feature for iMessage notifications, allowing the user to respond to an incoming message by expanding the notification to reveal a text field. As of beta 2, UIUserNotificationSettings.h doesn’t seem to provide a way of implementing this feature in third-party apps. Please consider adding a way to do so in a future release.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open UIUserNotificationSettings.h in Xcode 6

Expected Results:
2. Method declarations and/or header docs explaining how to implement the Quick Reply feature in Messages.app on iOS 8

Actual Results:
3. No API for implementing quick reply feature is available

Version:
iOS 8.0 beta 2 (12A4297e)

Notes:
My initial suggestion for implementing this would be a `BOOL allowsTextEntry` property on UIUserNotificationCategory, though I’m not sure how you’d get the text entered by the user back in the app delegate.
