Summary:
It is impossible to using Core Foundation collections directly in Swift, because `CFDictionaryGetValue`, `CFArrayGetValueAtIndex`, etc return `UnsafePointer` (and you can't downcast that to anything useful). So, we're stuck casting the collection to its bridged Foundation counterpart.

Which leads us to the problem: kSecSharedPassword is declared as `Unmanaged<AnyObject>!` in the Swift header. Since `kSecSharedPassword` is meant to be used as a key to a dictionary, it should be declared as NSCopying.

Steps to Reproduce:
Attempt to get a password with `SecRequestSharedWebCredential()` in Swift. You'll end up with code that looks a bit like this:

SecRequestSharedWebCredential(nil, nil) { (cfCredentialsArray: CFArray!, error: CFError!) -> Void in
    let credentialsArray = cfCredentialsArray as NSArray
    if let credentials = credentialsArray.objectAtIndex(0) as? NSDictionary {
        let username = credentials[kSecAttrAccount] as? String
        let password = credentials[kSecSharedPassword] as? String
        let service = credentials[kSecAttrService] as? String
        NSLog("username: %@, password: %@, service: %@", username, password, service)
    }
}

Expected Results:
The code should compile.

Actual Results:
>> let password = credentials[kSecSharedPassword] as? String

Type 'Unmanaged<AnyObject>!' does not conform to protocol 'NSCopying'
