Summary:
UIView's translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints should be a property, so it translated into Swift without any unexpected results.

In Objective-C, when a "-setSomething:" method is declated, we can use a dot syntax to trigger it, such as: "foo.something = bar". This is not the case in Swift.

UIView has two instance methods: "-translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints" and "-setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:", which, in the public interface, should be declared as a property, not two separate methods.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and Open Xcode 6.0 Beta 5 (6A279r), which includes iOS 8 SDK Beta 5 (12A4345d)
2. Create a new iOS playground file.
3. Enter the following code:

    import UIKit
    UIView().translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true


Expected Results:
No syntax error, the UIView instance receives "setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:YES" message implicitly.

Actual Results:
Syntax-related playground execution error – "error: cannot assign to the result of this expression"

Version:
iOS 8 SDK Beta 5 (12A4345d)

Notes:


Configuration:
Xcode 6.0 Beta 5 (6A279r), OS X 10.9.4 (13E28), MacPro5,1
