Can I use the new @import directive to import custom frameworks?

Question

I was happy to see the new @import directive in Objective-C, but I lived under the impression it could not be currently used to import custom frameworks (one source). But I have just created a custom Cocoa Framework in Xcode 6 (are these supported now?) and I can @import it just fine. What gives?

Yes you can use @import in Xcode 6. From New Features in Xcode 6 Beta:

User-defined modules. Developers are now able to define modules for their own Objective-C code, making it easier than ever for them to share frameworks across all their projects. By combining user-defined modules with Swift’s automatic creation of modules, the two languages work together seamlessly.

There are more details in the WWDC 2014 video "What's New in LLVM", page 25 of the PDF:
