I don't believe there should be any; either the type is narrowed or it isn't, 
if you rely on it being a type the type-checker can't verify, you'll get an 
error, otherwise you won't. There shouldn't be scope for anything unexpected.

I agree, but the only code that should be affected by this is code where there 
is unwrapping that can be determined to either be redundant, or is definitely 
incorrect; in the former case it will only be a warning (so you can remove 
force unwrapping that is no longer needed) and in the latter it will be an 
error because the type-checker has actually identified something that will 
definitely cause a run-time error.
