UTTypeCopyPreferredTagWithClass doesn't returns an array of CFString

I could not find `CoreServices` as an area to file this problem so I chose `Foundation` instead.

## Problem

The latest documentation says `UTTypeCopyPreferredTagWithClass` returns 

> An array of tags (as CFStrings), or NULL if there was no translation available to convert the uniform type identifier to the specified class.

According to [the document](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreservices/1442744-uttypecopypreferredtagwithclass).
(And I attach the archive just in case: https://web.archive.org/web/20190621082901/https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreservices/1442744-uttypecopypreferredtagwithclass)

However its method signature is `Unmanaged<CFString>?` and actually it doesn't return *an array of CFStrings*.
I tried to advance the pointer but it didn't return anything but raised EXC_BAD_ACCESS exception.

I guess the problem is due to rather the documentation than the actual behavior but this contradiction is confusing so I'd like you to fix this problem (of course or documentation).

Comments

The actual issue number is FB7437212 but it seems like Open Rader doesn't accept new Feedback Assistant's bug tracking number so I removed the first non-digit letters FB and set the reset digits as the number of the issue.
