Swift should be a strong type save language, which will apply to remove strange sideeffects like the unwanted bridging in some specific cases. <span style="font-family: Helvetica;">This also will be the next step after </span><a href="https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0072-eliminate-implicit-bridging-conversions.md" style="font-family: Helvetica; box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none; border-width: 0px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(240, 81, 56);">SE-0072</a><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">.</span></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;"><b>If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?</b></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;">Not that I can think of.</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;"><b>How much effort did you put into your review?

I've been waiting for such a change since I faced the unwanted bridging behaviour in one of my projects amost a year ago. The only workaround for checking a type being a reference-type without bridging was `guard instance.dynamicType is AnyObject.Type else`, which is ugly.</div></div> <br> <div id="bloop_sign_1463155501069566976" class="bloop_sign"><div style="font-family:helvetica,arial;font-size:13px">-- <br>Adrian Zubarev<br>Sent with Airmail</div></div> <br><p class="airmail_on">Am 10.
