Although primarily utilized by Apple in Xcode to regurgitate deprecated old source code into the new-era breaking-change refreshed source code to permit Swift source-code bases in the user community to not get fossilized in some earlier revision of the language (so that no shop has an excuse to lag behind in language versions), fix-its can also be utilized to transform common programming anti-pattern/bad-habit idioms into best-practice idioms within the same era of Swift, not crossing revision-of-language boundaries. It is fix-its that motivate thinking of Xcode as pronounced trans*-code instead of pronounced ecks code.
* trans(form), as in xlat short for translat(ion tables) in EE & assembly-language subcultures
