Xcode 15: Foundation in iOS 17/macOS Sonoma has a new `Predicate` type which can conflict with Nimble's `Predicate`.

If you're running Xcode 15, and create a Nimble matcher in a file that also imports Foundation, you'll get a bunch of 'Predicate' is ambiguous for type lookup in this context type build errors.
This can be fixed by disambiguating which Predicate you're using - i.e. Nimble.Predicate instead of simply Predicate.
Edit: This can also be addressed with typealias Predicate = Nimble.Predicate. Which works throughout the entire module.
If this is a large enough problem for people, we might will look into renaming the Predicate API, or providing a typealias for the API.
Hello @younata , this seems to be a problem when running tests on visionOS
For those watching this issue: #1090 will rename Nimble's Predicate type to Matcher, with a typealias for backwards compatibility/adding a fixit to make upgrading easier (though, it'll spam you with deprecation warnings).
I'm open to names other than Matcher for this rename; Matcher was the name of the API that Predicate replaced, and I don't want to confuse anyone. However, the old Matcher API has been removed since Nimble 10, so that's not that much of an issue. As I state in the PR, my reasons for using Matcher are a lack of creativity on my part + the fact that we still refer to predicates as matchers in the Nimble documentation. Please add comments to #1090 with a suggestion. I'll keep that PR open for a week until I merge it and release a beta of Nimble 13.
Nimble 13 RC 1 is available for use, which addresses this issue. Assuming there's no major changes needed, I'll release it as Nimble 13.
