The only thing I would query with the whole concept of resetting an implicitly
unwrapped optional var is, with a simple example struct :
public struct TestStruct
{
private var _description: String?
public var description: String!
{
get
{
return _description ?? ""
}
set
{
_description = newValue
}
}
}
… test code would be :
{
var test = TestStruct()
test.description = nil
let str: String = test.description
}
The idea of setting a var to nil and then getting a valid object back seems a
bit anachronistic.
I think I would rather add an explicit "reset" method.
