How to unwrap an optional value from Any type?

by

For Xcode 7 and Swift 2:

func unwrap(any:Any) -> Any {

    let mi = Mirror(reflecting: any)
    if mi.displayStyle != .Optional {
        return any
    }

    if mi.children.count == 0 { return NSNull() }
    let (_, some) = mi.children.first!
    return some

}


let int:Int? = 1
let str:String? = "foo"
let null:Any? = nil
let values:[Any] = [unwrap(int),2,unwrap(str),"bar", unwrap(null)]

This will give you [1, 2, "foo", "bar", {NSObject}]

Change NSNull() to nil and the return value of unwrap func to Any? will always unwrap any type.
