'Ss' appears in manglings tens of thousands of times in the standard library and is also incredibly frequent in other modules. This alone is enough to shrink the standard library by 59KB.

checked_cast_br promises to maintain RC identity, but a cast from an ErrorType-conforming class to NSError may change the RC identity by bridging. Make sure that potential class-to-NSError casts go through the indirect cast entry points for now. The runtime implementation still needs to be fixed to handle the class-to-NSError case, but this is part of rdar://problem/21116814.

Then use that to ban NSError.init(), because it doesn't create a valid
NSError. In the long run Foundation will hopefully add this to their
headers, but they can't yet (rdar://problem/19977891).

- Enable 'catch is NSError' and 'catch let e as NSError {' patterns to
a) work, and b) be considered to be exhaustive catches. This enables
people to catch an error and *use* it as an NSError directly, instead
of having to do boiler-platey cases. This is particularly important
for the migrator.
- Do not warn about non-noop coersion casts (like "_ as NSError" when
matching an ErrorType), since they provide useful type adjustment to
the subpattern. Still warn on noop ones.
- Simplify CatchStmt::isSyntacticallyExhaustive to use
Pattern::isRefutablePattern. Add a FIXME, because the parser is guiding
closure "throws" inference before the pattern is type checked, which means
that it is incorrect (but only in subtle cases).
- When diagnosing pointless 'as' patterns like:
switch 4 {
case _ as Int: break
say "'as' test is always true" instead of "'is' test is always true".
