We don't even need to bring up IUOs for it to be possible to write code that
can fail without visibility at the call site. A contrived example:
func convertToInt(_ val: String) -> Int {
return Int(val)!
}
let val = "something"
// ... a bunch of code
let i = convertToInt(val) // Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while
unwrapping an Optional value
This is trivially easy to do, and has been since Swift 1, but it's not
something that has become a widespread issue.
