    Hello all, this question is probably more for Unity employees.
    It seems like there are missing some methods like:

    
SystemAPI.ManagedAPI.SetSingleton

    or

    
SystemAPI.ManagedAPI.GetSingletonRW


    Is there any plan to add them in official 1.0 release?

    Likely no plans. Given ManagedAPI.GetSingleton gives you back a reference type it is actually closer to SystemAPI.GetSingletonRW. Meaning that changing any value of what you got back from your ManagedAPI.GetSingleton will also change the value of the underlying component. As a result it is not needed to a SetSingleton or GetSingletonRW call for ManagedAPI.
