assert() and fatalError()
These functions are meant to be used in user code. They are enabled in debug
mode and disabled in release or fast mode.
_precondition() and _preconditionFailure()
These functions are meant to be used in library code to check preconditions at
the api boundry. They are enabled in debug mode (with a verbose message) and
release mode (trap). In fast mode they are disabled.
_debugPrecondition() and _debugPreconditionFailure()
These functions are meant to be used in library code to check preconditions that
are not neccesarily comprehensive for safety (UnsafePointer can be null or an
invalid pointer but we can't check both). They are enabled only in debug mode.
_sanityCheck() and _fatalError()
These are meant to be used for internal consistency checks. They are only
enabled when the library is build with -DSWIFT_STDLIB_INTERNAL_CHECKS=ON.
I modified the code in the standard library to the best of my judgement.

This method returns a proxy object. Swift cannot current cast proxy objects
to their proxied types. The workaround for now is to add a generic overlay
for -prepareWithInvocationTarget: so the declared type of the returned
proxy is the proxied type. This is good enough to make undo proxies work with
objc-dispatched calls.

This fixes a case where the Swift-variadic and C-varargs versions of
various initializers were superseding each other
<rdar://problem/16801456>.
It also uncovered some more cases where we weren't getting quite the
right semantics for factory-methods-as-initializers, which are also
fixed here.

It is replaced by debugPrint() family of functions, that are called by REPL.
There is a regression in printing types that don't conform to Printable, this
is tracked by rdar://16898708
Swift SVN r18006
The old ones were:
- print/println
- printAny
- printf
- Console
The new printing story is just print/println. Every object can be printed.
You can customize the way it is printed by adopting Printable protocol. Full
details in comments inside stdlib/core/OutputStream.swift.
Printing is not completely finished yet. We still have ReplPrintable, which
should be removed, string interpolation still uses String constructors, and
printing objects that don't conform to Printable will result in printing
mangled names.
