Nice!

Did you know that you can do stuff like this?

let x = DispatchQueue.main.sync {
    return 10
}

I modified your gist to cater for that. Here's mine:

func syncSafe<T>(_ work: () -> T) -> T {
    if Thread.isMainThread {
        return work()
    } else {
        return DispatchQueue.main.sync {
            return work()
        }
    }
}
