Summary:
The discussion in the documentation states that this delegate method is called for taps *and* long-presses, and "...you can use this method to trigger an alternative action, such as displaying the web content at the URL in a web view within the current application."

However this method does not provide information on what kind of interaction (tap/long-press) is being represented. In the documented example, I would want to present a Safari View Controller on tap, but defer to default behaviour on long-press. Current method signature does not contain enough information to distinguish between these two cases.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a simple UI with a UITextView
2. Configure text view with appropriate data detectors, set it to selectable, and non-editable
3. Fill the UITextView with a string that contains links, phone numbers, etc
4. Create a delegate that implements textView(_:shouldInteractWithURL:inRange:) and presents a Safari View Controller if URL's scheme is http / https, returning false, or doing nothing and returning true if the scheme is something else
5. Launch app and long-press on an HTTP link

Expected Results:
textView(_:shouldInteractWithURL:inRange:) is invoked, but should include additional information so that the implementation knows whether this is a tap (continue by presenting opening Safari View Controller) or a long-press (return true to defer to default behaviour)

Actual Results:
textView(_:shouldInteractWithURL:inRange:) is invoked and Safari View Controller is presented

Version:
iOS 7.0 and later
