    Better Unwrapping

Unwrapping values is one of the most common Swift tasks and it is unnecessarily complex.
Consider the following solutions:

Introduce an unwrap keyword for Optional values
Introduce an Unwrappable protocol for associated-value enumerations.
Apply unwrap to non-Optional values.

                Lets help improve AppKit.
              
          
    Is AppKit causing you frustration? Instead of just complaining about it, lets try to make it better by compiling a list of specific problems with AppKit. Leave a comment below, and I'll include it in the list.

##NSView##

NSView does not have the ability to set an affine transform (rdar://15608609)
Controls that have cells (such as NSTextField) do not respond properly when layer-backed. Take NSButton as an example. When not layer-backed, it will animate properly using the animator proxy. When layer-backed, using the animator proxy breaks focus rings (they jump to destination immediately). Currently, directly manipulating the layer of a cell-based control is not supported (and will lead to a broken interface), but is much needed. (rdar://15608822)

##NSViewController##

NSViewController could be more useful. It has -loadView but no other lifecycle methods. (rdar://15608948)
