There's still work left to do. In terms of next steps, there's still rdar://problem/22126141, which covers removing the 'workaround' overloads for print (that prevent bogus overload resolution failures), as well as providing a decent diagnostic when users invoke print with 'appendNewline'.

This allows us to switch on an optional value and match it to concrete
values without explicitly writing the ".Some"'s. Better testing to follow...
Swift SVN r21018
We now allow switches like this:
switch anyObject {
case let str as String: // bridged via NSString
println(str)
case let intArr as [Int]: // bridged via NSArray
println(intArr)
default:
}
Note that we do not allow collection downcasting in switch statements
(yet); that's covered by <rdar://problem/17897378>.
Swift SVN r20976
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
When checking an isa pattern that requires either collection
downcasting or bridging through an Objective-C class (e.g.,
"is String" or "is Dictionary<String, Int>"), form a conditional
downcast and place it in an expression pattern.
With this change, we can test for these cases (with "is") but we can't
capture the value produced on success (e.g., for "let str as
String"). This is a first small step toward <rdar://problem/17408934>.
