"..*most* people don’t expect.." could you prove this please? Perhaps you 
want to say *many* people. Probably. But the same many people expect this. 
Especially if they know a little of C language or other language that don't 
allow to use wrong indexes for arrays.

Also, why they don't expect this when writing in Swift? This behavior 
described in help/documentation/tutorial for Swift, this is how Swift works 
with arrays.

I'm not sure about this idea. Still - if you'll use wrong index your 
program will crash by thrown exception. Or I don't understand the suggestion.
