OK I've filed (rdar://17387641) - although in this case I'm not sure it would
have made life much better as the constructor takes a UInt the best I would
have been able to do is
return UIInterfaceOrientationMask(
UIInterfaceOrientationMask.Portrait.value +
UIInterfaceOrientationMask.PortraitUpsideDown.value )
which isn't much prettier. I do agree however that returning a
UIIntefaceOrientationMask would be semantically better and it's not hard to
define the '+' and '|' operators on them myself to do the right thing which
would lead to
return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.Portrait +
UIInterfaceOrientationMask.PortraitUpsideDown
which would be very nice (and i suggested in the radar)

Ah it does - when I compile and run it - it doesn't work in a playground
because a playground with the following code and nothing else in it
let a = 123
let b = UInt( a )
crashes with
fatal error: Can't unwrap Optional.none
when it's trying to format the output for writing. In fact it seems lots of my
'failed experiments' from yesterday were just the playground crashing.
(rdar://17387985). The command-line REPL works fine.
Thanks for the reply.
