The primary thing that hinders Swift work like this is OSC does not
use swiftclient as it wasn't a standalone thing yet when I wrote that
bit (lifting much of the actual API code from swiftclient) .  We
decided a while ago to not add that dependency and drop the
OSC-specific object code and use the SDK when we start using SDK for
everything else, after there is an SDK 1.0 release.

Moving forward on this today using either OSC's api.object code or the
SDK would be fine, with the same SDK caveat we have with Neutron,
since SDK isn't 1.0 we may have to play catch-up and maintain multiple
SDK release compatibilities (which has happened at least twice).
