I have no experience with these OSes, so my opinion doesn't count 
for much here. Maybe repost in the General forum to get more 
input?

The "ARM" part of AppleARM is also misleading (maybe more so). 
Intuitively, I feel there may be some benefit in naming things 
similar to how they are in C source. In the reserved version 
identifier documentation (the table) you can say that it applies 
to WatchOS etc. aswell...

(pretty cool you are working on this btw :))
