The allocator's crimes include:
* It uses OS SPI that must not be used by non-OS apps.
* It does not play well with memory debugging tools like Instruments.
* It does not return memory to the OS in response to memory pressure.
* It is less tested than we would like because many configurations
inadvertently turn it off (such as running from Xcode).
* Its per-thread magazine implementation does not actually work.
* Its "try alloc" flag is incompletely implemented and never used.
* Its "zero fill" flag is unimplemented and inconsistently used.

initializeBufferWithTakeOfBuffer value witness.
Attempt to use initializeBufferWithTakeOfBuffer in
some appropriate places.
There are some changes enabled by this which are
coming in a follow-up patch.

This file is really about array casting, and not (necessarily) bridging.
Bridging may be involved in some array casts, but is not involved in all
of them.
Swift SVN r20690
When NSArrays are bridged into Array<T>, they weren't being .copy()'d.
As a result, changes to an NSMutableArray (cast to NSArray), could cause
"unrelated" Swift Arrays to mutate. Found by inspection while
bottlenecking unsafeBitCast's in Array implementation, which also
happens in this commit.

Squash _[Conditionally]BridgedToObjectiveC into one protocol. This
change results in simpler bridging code with fewer dynamic protocol
conformance checks, and solves the nasty naming/semantics problem that
resulted from having _ConditionallyBridgedToObjectiveC refining
_BridgedToObjectiveC.
Also, rename things so they're more symmetrical and less confusing.
Swift SVN r20664
To limit user confusion when using conditional expressions of type Bool?, we've decided to remove the BooleanType (aka "LogicValue") conformance from optional types. (If users would like to use an expression of type Bool? as a conditional, they'll need to check against nil.)
Note: This change effectively regresses the "case is" pattern over types, since it currently demands a BooleanType conformance. I've filed rdar://problem/17791533 to track reinstating it if necessary.
Swift SVN r20637
|=, &=, and ^= now come along for free with a BitwiseOperationsType
conformance, so we can remove the special-cased operators for
RawOptionSetType.
Also, release notes.
Swift SVN r20630
When a non-final class satisfies a method requirement that returns
Self, it must do so with a method that also returns (dynamic)
Self. This ensures conformance will be inheritable, closing off an
awful type-safety hole <rdar://problem/16880016>. Other
non-contravariant uses of Self in the signatures of requirements cause
the protocol to be unusable by non-final classes.
I had to leave a tiny little gaping hole for the ~> operator, whose
removal is covered by <rdar://problem/17828741>. We can possibly put
this on firm footing with clever handling of generic witnesses, but
it's not important right now.

In answering a forum post I noiced that I wanted this and it was
missing.
Also, extensive comments
Also, rename the length: init parameter to count:. When writing the
comments for the init function it became painfully clear why we use
"count" is better than "length" especially around pointers and memory:
the former is much less easy to mistake for "length in bytes". Plus
it's consistent with the new ".count" property
Swift SVN r20609
Similar to nil-coalescing operators in other languages, this operator takes an optional on the left and a non-optional expression on the right, and if the optional is nil, evaluates the right side, otherwise returning the value from the optional itself. <rdar://problem/15247356>
