Summary:
First of all big props for bringing safe extensions to Xcode!

However, there’s one thing that’s really missing is the ability to add custom views over the text (i.e. overlays).

I currently help maintain Peckham (https://github.com/markohlebar/Peckham) which is an Objective-C import helper.

We currently can’t upgrade Peckham to use XcodeKit since we can’t show an overlay to choose the matching header.

This issue may seem to be Objective-C specific but I’m sure that adding overlays will help extensions all across their spectrum.
