How to convert CNContact to CNMutableContact?

Question

I need to get contact, change it, and store back.

CNContactStore().unifiedContacts gives me CNContact instance, but CNSaveRequest().update requires CNMutableContact.

[This thread](http://stackoverflow.com/q/38051598/6541007) can be some help. — OOPer, Mar 20 '17 at 01:32

Just found a way:

let mutableContact = contact.mutableCopy() as! CNMutableContact

Are there situations where you'd use `as? CNMutableContact` instead? – benc Jun 27 '19 at 01:03
