Could someone define "compiler crash" and explain what it looks like? Does Xcode itself crash?

Your code stops compiling with a pretty unhelpful error message. Y'know, like Segmentation Fault 11, and a stack trace into the swift compiler sourcecode if you're lucky.
XCode doesn't always crash (though it does, frequently), but syntax highlighting goes away at the first hint of an issue.
