Long press on UITableView

I would like to handle a long press on a UITableViewCell to print a "quick access menu". Did someone already do this?

Particularly the gesture recognize on UITableView?

Swift 3 answer, using modern syntax, incorporating other answers, and eliminating unneeded code.

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let recognizer = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(tablePressed))
    tableView.addGestureRecognizer(recognizer)
 }

@IBAction func tablePressed(_ recognizer: UILongPressGestureRecognizer) {
    let point = recognizer.location(in: tableView)

    guard recognizer.state == .began,
          let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForRow(at: point),
          let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath),
          cell.isHighlighted
    else {
        return
    }

    // TODO
}
