Explanation: In SIL, the distinction between IUO and Optional is now lowered away, so there's no reason to emit any SIL at all when an IUO is converted to Optional formally in the AST. (Eventually this distinction ought to go away at the type system level too…) Memory promotion didn't understand initializations through unchecked_*_casts and would incorrectly flag them as improper captures, causing rdar://problem/26899492.
Scope: Users attempting to access IUO properties from inside lldb would get bogus errors about improper variable capture.
