For Objective-C it's possible to use the Objective-C runtime functions 
to access some of this information. Based on a method you can access the 
types of the arguments and the return type. Although this data is 
represented as strings, in a semi mangled format. All this should be 
accessible in Swift as well but will only (I assume) work for Swift 
methods that can be called from Objective-C. "Native" Swift methods 
support other features that are not accessible in Objective-C, like 
generics.
