After the integrated REPL was removed, directly invoking swift (when LLDB is not built) produces a crash:
$ swift
Assertion failed: (!Files.empty() || failedToLoad()), function getFiles, file swift-dev/swift/include/swift/AST/Module.h, line 363.
...
Stack dump:

It would be less confusing if this instead produced a diagnostic, like swiftc when invoked with no files:
$ swiftc
<unknown>:0: error: no input files
