Just to clarify : it will crash not because `nil` passed, but because there is no check for `nil` in the function itself. I.e. nobody prevents you to make a function that *will* check the nil and at the same time use all the bonuses from implicitly unwrapped optional parameter:

func foo(_ i: Int!) {
    guard i != nil else {return}

    print(i) // use IUO parameter
}

foo(nil) // no errors
foo(1) // 1

Yep, but no one stop you if you pass optional value. And in runtime it crash in 
case if it really will be `nil`. But from other side non-optional params make 
the same, and does not let you pass an optional value, and show error on 
compile time. This make your code more safety.
Now force unwrapped params in function used only if you use old Obj-C code 
without nullability modifiers, so no sense, i think, for clear swift code.

This confused me at the beginning.

But doesn't Int! In parameter type means the function is awaiting an unwrapped 
value so the user should ensure that it data parameter is available, valid, and 
unwrapped?

Hello, everyone!

I wanna propose to you to remove force unwrapping in fuction signature for 
swift code. That no sense in clear swift code. If we wanna use some optional 
value as function param, that is not optional, we must unwrap it before 
function call.
People who new in swift look at how they old Obj-C code (without nullability 
modifiers) translate in to swift:

Obj-C:
- (void)foo:(NSInteger)bar {
//...
}

Swift transaliton:
func foo(bar: Int!) {
//...
}

And think that force unwrapping in signature is good practice. And start write 
functions in clear swift code like this:

func newFoo(bar: Int!) {
//...
}

and use it like this:

let bar: Int? = 1
newFoo(bar)

And it really work, and they does not think that this can crash in case if 
`bar` will be `nil`.
But in clear swift we wanna work with parametrs in function that clearly or 
optional, or not.

func newFoo(bar: Int) {
//...
}

or

func newFoo(bar: Int?) {
//...
}

When we write a new function we know what we need in this case and use optional 
params or not.

So my proposal is remove force unwrapping(`!`) from function signatures, cause 
it have no sense, and that confuse new users.
