Starting a grouped discussion about these four:
* The global function withUnsafe[Mutable]Pointer(&x) should have an argument
label “to”. (https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-1937 rdar://problem/26529498.)
I think this one is clear and obvious.
* Remove unsafeAddressOf. "We are not aware of any real use cases for it. If
there are any, it should be renamed to unsafeAddress(of:) to follow the
guidelines." (https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-1957 rdar://problem/18589289)
* Consider renaming or eliminating ManagedProtoBuffer. "The reason why
ManagedProtoBuffer exists is to give the users an extra bit of type safety
inside of the closure passed to ManagedBuffer.create(). This closure receives
the ManagedBuffer instance and returns the initial value that is stored in the
buffer (the header part of the buffer). We are passing the ManagedBuffer as
ManagedProtoBuffer to prevent the closure from reading the uninitialized value
property. Maybe this extra bit of safety is not worth the API surface
complexity." (https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-1955 rdar://problem/26012924
rdar://problem/27118532.")
* withUnsafePointer shouldn't take its argument as inout.
(https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-1956 rdar://problem/25019862) Note: "Jordan
has objections, see https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-1956";
