typealias file seems to hide KVO properties

[DrAma999]

Hello,
I've added as swift package dependency CoreBluetoothMock library and added as suggested the CoreBluetoothTypeAliases.swift to the project. Removed any reference to import CoreBluetooth in my framework project.
Everything seems ok, but I get an complire error here:

  let peripheralStatePublisher: AnyPublisher<PeripheralState, Never>
    
    init(_ peripheral: CBPeripheral) {
        self.cbPeripheral = peripheral
        self.peripheralStatePublisher = self.cbPeripheral.publisher(for: \.state)
            .map{ (state) -> PeripheralState in
                PeripheralState(state: state)
            }
            .share()
            .eraseToAnyPublisher()
        self.cbPeripheral.delegate = self.peripheralProxy
    }

What I'm trying to do is to leverage KVO and combine capabilities to create a publisher for peripheral state changes.
At the line where I try to get the publisher I get Value of type 'CBPeripheral' (aka 'CBMPeripheral') has no member 'publisher'.
I've tried also to import Foundation and Combine in the alias file, but I still get this error.
I'm using Xcode 11.5 and the 0.8.0 version of the library.

After further investigation, is not due to aliases, but the issue is due to the nature protocol of the mock CMBPeripheral.

Yes, the original CBPeripheral is a class, while in this library, theCBMPeripheral is a protocol. For the same reason it's not Hashable or Equatable.
Regarding the publish, I could add those methods to the protocol, but the other protocols are more problematic.

It would be wonderful, to test that functionality I made a little trick, but I'm not liking it that much.
May I say that this project is simply amazing!. I'm trying to build a CB library , sort of Polidea RX Bluetooth but with combine and is helping me a lot in creating a good unit test coverage.
Thank you!

@NickKibish, how is this issue related to #96? Is it fixed, or 96 solves just few cases?
