It's minor, but I use unsafeAddressOf regularly for writing `description`
methods:

    var description: String {
        return "<\(self.dynamicType): \(unsafeAddressOf(self))>{ more info
here... }"
    }

I guess this would be covered by some generalized solution for format
specifiers in string interpolations, but I gather that won't happen for
quite a while...
