The main idea is to introduce 2 new subscript methods: [clamping:] and [checking:]<br>
<br>
There was discussion in "[Proposal] More lenient subscript methods over Collections" and (older) "[Proposal] Safer half-open range operator"<div><div class="h5"><br>

Hi Everyone!<br>
<br>
This is my first time emailing the swift evolution list, so if this topic<br>
has already been discussed please let me know. I looked through all the<br>
accepted and rejected proposals and it doesn't seem to be on there.<br>
<br>
The main thought is that dictionaries return optionals, so why not arrays?<br>
Or other CollectionTypes for that matter. I would think this would be the<br>
expected behavior in this situation:<br>
<br>
var myArray:[String?] = []<br>
print(myArray[4])<br>
// EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION, but could just be Optional(nil)<br>
<br>
Then you could do things like<br>
<br>
if let arrayValue = myArray[4] {<br>
// do something<br>
}<br>
<br>
Of course you could simply check with with the count, but considering<br>
Swift's use of optionals to represent empty variables rather than erroring<br>
out or returning an empty String, I think this functionality would be<br>
appropriate to include in the Swift standard library.<br>
<br>
And there's about 15,000 people who've looked for this functionality in the<br>
last year:<br>

Please let me know what you think.<br>
