Summary:
Creating an NSURLRequest without an accompanying NSURL violates Swift's safety guarantee.

Steps to Reproduce:
Run this code:

let request = NSURLRequest();
println(request.URL)

Expected Results:
Either `URL` should be an optional type, since it is `nil` in this case, or the non-designated initializer `NSURLRequest()` should cause an error in Swift.

Actual Results:
Swift's guarantee that objects exist if they aren't optional is broken. This code crashes.

Version:
iOS 8.1 GM
