optional func position(for bar: any UIBarPositioning) -> UIBarPosition
```

## Discussion

Discussion If your interface has a custom bar with a delegate, that delegate can implement this method and use it to specify the position of the bar that has been added to a window. Delegates for the UINavigationBar and UISearchBar classes return the value UIBarPosition.top by default. The delegate of the UIToolbar class returns the value UIBarPosition.bottom by default.
