How about?

public func ?? <T>(optional: T?, noreturnOrError: @autoclosure () throws -> 
Never) rethrows -> T {
    switch optional {
    case .some(let value):
        return value
    case .none:
        try noreturnOrError()
    }
}

As you write, this operator becomes sugar for “?? fatalError()” once Never 
becomes a true bottom type.

In the meantime, can’t the same thing be accomplished by overloading fatalError 
so it’s a generic function that returns a discardable result of type T, which 
in turn calls the Never-returning overload?

I like this idea more than adding an extra operator, but overloading fatalError 
won’t work now because of

Using an operator to provide feedback on the context of a failed unwrap has 
become a commonly implemented approach in the Swift developer Community. What 
are your thoughts about adopting this widely-used operator into the standard 
library?

guard !lastItem.isEmpty else { return }
let lastItem = array.last !! "Array must be non-empty"
