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

Mechanically add "Type" to the end of any protocol names that don't end
in "Type," "ible," or "able." Also, drop "Type" from the end of any
associated type names, except for those of the *LiteralConvertible
protocols.
There are obvious improvements to make in some of these names, which can
be handled with separate commits.
Fixes <rdar://problem/17165920> Protocols `Integer` etc should get
uglier names.

...unless the type has less accessibility than the protocol, in which case
they must be as accessible as the type.
This restriction applies even with access control checking disabled, but
shouldn't affect any decls not already marked with access control modifiers.
Swift SVN r19382
As before, there may be more things marked @public than we actually want
public. Judicious use of the frontend option -disable-access-control may
help reduce the public surface area of the stdlib.
Swift SVN r19353
Keep calm: remember that the standard library has many more public exports
than the average target, and that this contains ALL of them at once.
I also deliberately tried to tag nearly every top-level decl, even if that
was just to explicitly mark things @internal, to make sure I didn't miss
something.
This does export more than we might want to, mostly for protocol conformance
reasons, along with our simple-but-limiting typealias rule. I tried to also
mark things private where possible, but it's really going to be up to the
standard library owners to get this right. This is also only validated
against top-level access control; I haven't fully tested against member-level
access control yet, and none of our semantic restrictions are in place.
Along the way I also noticed bits of stdlib cruft; to keep this patch
understandable, I didn't change any of them.

In UTF-8 decoder:
- implement U+FFFD insertion according to the recommendation given in the
Unicode spec. This required changing the decoder to become stateful, which
significantly increased complexity due to the need to maintain an internal
buffer.
- reject invalid code unit sequences properly instead of crashing rdar://16767868
- reject overlong sequences rdar://16767911
In stdlib:
- change APIs that assume that UTF decoding can never fail to account for
possibility of errors
- fix a bug in UnicodeScalarView that could cause a crash during backward
iteration if U+8000 is present in the string
- allow noncharacters in UnicodeScalar. They are explicitly allowed in the
definition of "Unicode scalar" in the specification. Disallowing noncharacters
in UnicodeScalar prevents actually using these scalar values as internal
special values during string processing, which is exactly the reason why they
are reserved in the first place.
- fix a crash in String.fromCString() that could happen if it was passed a null
pointer
In Lexer:
- allow noncharacters in string literals. These Unicode scalar values are not
allowed to be exchanged externally, but it is totally reasonable to have them
in literals as long as they don't escape the program. For example, using
U+FFFF as a delimiter and then calling str.split("\uffff") is completely
reasonable.
This is a lot of changes in a single commit; the primary reason why they are
lumped together is the need to change stdlib APIs to account for the
possibility of UTF decoding failure, and this has long-reaching effects
throughout stdlib where these APIs are used.

This enables testing of other growth factors, per
<rdar://problem/17230502>. See the radar for basic performance test
results confirming (to the degree practical) that 2x growth is better
than 1.5x in our current system.

Will be useful in optimizing bulk array mutations such as sort()
Also stopped making UnsafeArray a generator; in general making a
collection a generator seems somewhat muddled and dangerous, especially
when it comes to adapters that may have reference semantics.
Swift SVN r18924
This helps array append's performance by ~ 2x. The generic max with a variadic
argument creates a temporary array then iterates over the array.

conform to LogicValue.
This approach was taken to keep _isNull because I first tried
to just use comparisons to nil instead of isNull(). Apparently
that led to some circular definitions, so it was easier to just
stage it this way.

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.

Once we know that the storage is contiguous we use the new API _NthContiguous.
We can further optimize this code by specializing the access to ascii or UTF-16.
