Summary:
As an iOS app developer, implementing proper keyboard presentation and dismissal handling in a UIViewController subclass requires listening and handling multiple keyboard notifications and is prone to repetition and error.

It would be very handy to have a property on UIViewController similar to bottomLayoutGuide that represented the lowest vertical extent for content that is intended to appear above a presented keyboard, when a keyboard is presented. This would allow for simple and consistent constraint setup and reduce the likelihood of a poor user experience when keyboard presentation is not correctly or fully handled by the app.

A possible name for such a property could be bottomKeyboardGuide or keyboardLayoutGuide.
