Swift Literal Convertibles

Mattt Thompson, in NSHipster, brings up a potentially controverial issue.

This seems like another giant area for abuse and misuse. It worries me less than custom and overloaded operators, since it feels like something people would do less often.

And I can actually see myself potentially using the feature myself. Maybe.

But my criteria still needs to be: can somebody else read and understand my code?
