I tried just doing `base->GetChildAtIndex(index)`, but it doesn't work when the base is a pointer and it also returns an error when index is out of bounds, which shouldn't happen with C++.

Swift doesn't have pointers really.  It does pass some things by value (called structs) and others by reference (called classes), but it doesn't let you know how.  So this ambiguity between "pointer to object" and "pointer to contiguous buffer of objects" doesn't come up.
