[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0054: Abolish ImplicitlyUnwrappedOptional type

Stuck on one point:

let x: Int! = 5
let y = x

I expect to be able to treat y exactly the same as I treat x.  Making y an
Int? is an [unpleasant] surprise.  But I don't think this kind of thing is
terribly common, so I think I could live with it.

Most of the rest of the discussion surrounds points I had never considered
and can't imagine using.  Having an array of [Type!], returning -> Type! -
these things do not appeal to me.

        * Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a
change to Swift?

No opinion

        * Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?

        * If you have you used other languages or libraries with a similar
feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?

N/A

        * How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick
reading, or an in-depth study?
