I learned some Swift when it as at 1.2 and I'm happy to see it evolve so quickly and take common statements, like the optional unwrapping "very long `if let` statement" mentioned article, and simplify it. I really should get back into Swift.

Swift also has the `defer` statement which makes this particular approach usable even if there is cleanup to do before the function can exit.
