Release notes for r158230 "Disallow using ObjC literals in direct comparisons"
This may turn out to be a controversial change, due to string literals being uniqued at link time, but Apple's docs only say "The compiler makes such object constants unique on a per-module basis..."[1] without actually saying what a "module" is. (It's not a clang module.) Furthermore, this uniqueness guarantee often can't be guaranteed once the string has been passed through framework code. If this does turn out very controversial, we could downgrade this to a DefaultError warning for strings, and leave it as a true Error for other kinds of literals.
