Summary:
If I am looking at a Swift source file and Open Quickly to jump to an Objective-C header, I instead get the generated Swift interface. That's rarely what I wanted; if I'm navigating to my own header, I'm likely to want to modify it. And once I'm on the generated header, I have to use a menu item to get back to the original source.

It's useful to be able to see the generated Swift interface for an Objective-C type, but it's disruptive and annoying for Xcode to jump to it by default. If I chose to navigate to a `.h` file, please open the actual .h file.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a Swift file and an Objective-C header file to a project.
2. Open the Swift file in the editor.
3. Use "Open Quickly" to navigate to the Objective-C header file.

Expected Results:
The header file should appear in the editor.

Actual Results:
The Swift generated interface appears in the editor. And because it's just generated content, I can't edit it.

Version:
Xcode 8.0 (8A218a)
macOS Sierra GM (16A320)

Notes:
There seems to be an assumption that navigating from a Swift file to an Objective-C header is primarily done in order to inspect the existing interface. In my experience, it's *more* likely that I want to edit the header file in order to add a method or improve how the existing interface is presented in Swift. An assumption of non-editability is not justified.
