title: iOS8 Swift "AnyObject" is not identical to "String" error when trying to access dictionary - how to suppress?
body: <p>I'm working in Objective-C to Swift mixed project and am seeing the following error message when trying to retrieve an object that I know to be a string: "AnyObject" is not identical to "String". </p>
  
  <p>I really don't want to explicitly specify every single time what I'm getting out of a collection. <strong>How can I supress compiler errors like this and let me work with anyobject like Objective-C id types?</strong></p>
