Instead, just emit a deprecation warning and suggest switching to Optionals.
The old behavior caused several projects to break, so before we change
the behavior here we need to investigate whether we can mitigate most
of those breaks.
For Swift 3 / 4:
Deprecate the spelling "ImplicitlyUnwrappedOptional", emitting a warning
and suggesting "!" in places where they are allowed according to
SE-0054.
In places where SE-0054 disallowed IUOs but we continued to accept them
in previous compilers, emit a warning suggesting "Optional" or "?" as
an alternative depending on context and treat the IUO as an Optional,
noting this in the diagnostic.
For Swift 5:
Treat "ImplicitlyUnwrappedOptional" as an error, suggesting
"!" in places where they are allowed by SE-0054.
In places where SE-0054 disallowed IUOs, emit an error suggestion
"Optional" or "?" as an alternative depending on context.
Post-commit review follow-up:
This works better for properties that were all-caps, such as `URL`.
