The name was not only long and unwieldy, but inconsistent with our
conscious decision to avoid the use of "elements" in APIs as mostly
redundant.
Swift SVN r22408
The syntax being reverted added busywork and noise to the common case
where you want to say "I have the right address, but the wrong type,"
without adding any real safety.
Also it eliminated the ability to write UnsafePointer<T>(otherPointer),
without adding ".self" to T. Overall, it was not a win.
This reverts commits r21324 and r21342
Swift SVN r21424
Previously, it was possible to write Unsafe[Mutable]Pointer(x) and have
Swift deduce the pointee type based on context. Since reinterpreting
memory is a fundamentally type-unsafe operation, it's better to be
explicit about conversions from Unsafe[Mutable]Pointer<T> to
Unsafe[Mutable]Pointer<U>. This change is consistent with the move from
reinterpretCast(x) to unsafeBitCast(x, T.self).
Also, we've encoded the operations of explicitly adding or removing
mutability as properties, so that adding mutability can be separated
from wild reinterpretCast'ing, a much more severe form of unsafety.

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

+= only extends arrays with another sequence of the same element type.
Fixes <rdar://problem/17151420> The use of the overloaded += operator in
Swift is inconsistent and confusing with Arrays.
Note that this commits generated 3 new radars against the type checker:

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.
Swift SVN r19883
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
don't call into CoreFoundation to perform UTF-8 transcoding. CoreFoundation
can replace ill-formed sequences with a single byte, which is not good enough
to implement U+FFFD insertion. Instead, use the same transcoding routine as
for contiguous buffer.
Pulled out the transcoding routine into a generic function that should be
specialized and simplified for the case when input is UnsafeArray; we should
not be losing efficiency here.
Fixes <rdar://problem/17297055> [unicode] println crashes when given string
with unpaired surrogate
Swift SVN r19157
implementation:
- don't crash on NSStrings that contain isolated surrogates (partial fix, there
is a different code path that dispatches CoreFoundation and it still
crashes);
- insert U+FFFD according to Unicode recommendation;
- fix decoding of surrogate pairs when the internal buffer is almost full
(we used to drop characters in that case, rdar://16833733 + dups).
Swift SVN r19147
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.
Swift SVN r19145
This is motivated by <rdar://problem/17051606>.
This ends up renaming variables as well, which seems right for
consistency since we use "predicate" as variable name.

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.

We need something here so we can rip out StringByteData. Ideally this
would have BidirectionalIndex'es, but this will do for now. It has to
be a Collection so we can represent its multi-pass-ness.
