[swift-evolution] Change default compiler fix for not-unwrapped Optional from ! To ?

[Félix Cloutier]

How should the fix-it transform the following code to make it valid?

func foo(bar: String) -> Int
func frob() -> String?

func qaz() -> Int {
	return foo(bar: frob()) // frob() is optional, insert a ! to fix
}
