How to apply the type to a NSFetchRequest instance?

by 
let request: NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult> = Level.fetchRequest()

or

let request: NSFetchRequest<Level> = Level.fetchRequest()

depending which version you want.

You have to specify the generic type because otherwise the method call is ambiguous.

The first version is defined for NSManagedObject, the second version is generated automatically for every object using an extension, e.g:

extension Level {
    @nonobjc class func fetchRequest() -> NSFetchRequest<Level> {
        return NSFetchRequest<Level>(entityName: "Level");
    }

    @NSManaged var timeStamp: NSDate?
}

The whole point is to remove the usage of String constants.
