[swift-users] Dictionary with optional values

[David Sweeris]

I'm not in front of Xcode, so I can't confirm this, but I suspect that `optDict["one"] = nil as! Int?` will set "one" to nil, rather than removing "one".

Whatever the rules for inferring the type of `nil` when an Optional<T:NilLiteralConvertible> is involved are, it seems like it always infers the one I don't want.

Hope that helps.
