Reading large documents
Can the SwiftUI document architecture Take a file as read-only; never to be written out Take files too large for memory (multi-MB, or even GB) I wouldn't want the system to read a gigabyte size file into memory by default. If the system can use a memory-mapped Data as the representation, that'll be something I can make do. It would be even better if I could tell the system that I'll handle all the reading, all I need from it is a reference to the file's location on disk.

Can an XPC service send a response in piecemeal?
Just trying to understand the documentation. Obviously, we can send a request to the service to return all the data at once. Can the data arrive in pieces, involving either multiple async callbacks or a Combine Publisher?

How many connections can an XPC service have?
For example, let’s propose an XPC service that can connect to websites. Suppose that I want to connect to Apple.com, microsoft.com, and ibm.com. Can 3 service objects be made between the service and client? Or does the service have to return an ID for each web connection, with the client needing to specify which connection ID along with a command?

Can an app’s scripting dictionary be defined at runtime?
Instead of a .sdef file (or older formats) made in advance and stored in an app’s bundle, I wonder if the script dictionary can be set soon after the app opens? I seen related API, with a note that the scripting file reader ultimately calls that API. I grok about 90% of that API, but I’m not sure it’s possible.
