Binary Operator '??' cannot be applied to operands of type 'T?' and 'Never'

I used to be able to use ?? with fatalError(“Message”) to trap with a custom message in case of nil. This no longer works in Swift 3 (I think because of the update to never type)

I’ve build a custom operator for this: UnwrapOrTrap.swift · GitHub

infix operator ?! : NilCoalescingPrecedence

func ?!<T>(optional: T?, noreturn: @autoclosure () -> Never) -> T {
   switch optional {
   case .some(let value):
      return value
   case .none:
      noreturn()
   }
}

// Usage
let test: Int? = nil

test ?! fatalError("Message")

Has there still not been a formal proposal for "Never as universal
subtype/bottom"? Someone please propose it :)
