When using `try #require()` to unwrap an optional value, we emit a compile-time warning if the value is not actually optional. However, there is a bug in the type checker (swiftlang/swift#79202) that triggers a false positive when downcasting an object (of `class` type), e.g.: ```swift class Animal {} class Duck: Animal {} let beast: Animal = Duck() let definitelyADuck = try #require(beast as? Duck) //⚠️ '#require(_:_:)' is redundant because 'beast as? Duck' never equals 'nil' ``` This change suppresses the warning we emit if the expression contains certain syntax tokens (namely `?`, `nil`, or `Optional`) on the assumption that their presence means the test author is expecting an optional value and we've hit a false positive.

Is there an additional test you could add which would be an expected failure right now, but pass once swiftlang/swift#79202 is resolved? |

No, because I don't have a way to trigger the mismatch except during macro expansion, which is faked (different macro overloads get different names.) |

…949) - **Explanation**: Suppress some warnings that occur due to swiftlang/swift#79202 when the compiler selects the wrong overload of `try #require()` for expansion. - **Scope**: Tests using `try #require()` with reference types. - **Issues**: works around swiftlang/swift#79202 - **Original PRs**: #947 - **Risk**: Low, just suppresses some warnings we generate (lack of these warnings is not harmful) - **Testing**: Added a unit test - **Reviewers**: @briancroom
