Idea: exclusion list for `noForceUnwrapInTests`

[nicklockwood]

For cases like URL(string: "literal_string")! or UnicodeScalar("a")! that will never fail, adding try XCTUnwrap(...) seems a bit heavy.

Maybe we can add an exclusion list with sensible defaults?

Or, given that the use of string literals seems to be the common factor, perhaps the option could be to ignore any force unwrap of a function with only literal parameters?

Makes sense. Agreed XCTUnwrap(URL(string:... )) is silly. At Airbnb we avoid this using the urlMacro rule which runs first and converts it to #URL(...) instead. Wish there was a #URL macro in Foundation!

This seems too broad to me personally. Counter examples include anything dynamically failable like myCollection.value("key")!

Fair. So maybe a combination of an allowlist + literal parameter requirement?
