[swift-evolution] proposal for a even simpler guard.. => guard!

[Dominik Pich]

;) yes. I know I can write let x = y! but IMHO THAT is too brief again. 
I like the fact that guard makes you look what you do… it is a little bit like assert(x != nil)

guard! let x = y

it reads awesome and everybody can more easily see it is a potentially fatal & important call
