Swift: Testing optionals for nil

by

In Xcode Beta 5, they no longer let you do: 

var xyz : NSString?

if xyz {
  // Do something using `xyz`.
}

This produces an error:

does not conform to protocol ‘BooleanType.Protocol’

You have to use one of these forms:

if xyz != nil {
   // Do something using `xyz`.
}

if let xy = xyz {
   // Do something using `xy`.
}
