Summary:
Swift compiler complain
> error: cannot call value of non-function type 'Data’
on using `XMLDocument.xmlData(withOptions:)`

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Paste following codes to Playground:
```swift
import Foundation

let document = try XMLDocument(xmlString: "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>",
                               options: Int(XMLNode.Options.documentTidyXML.rawValue))
// build error with "error: cannot call value of non-function type 'Data'"
let data1 = document.xmlData(withOptions: XMLNode.Options.nodePrettyPrint.rawValue)
```

Expected Results:
2. compiled

Actual Results:
2. got “error: cannot call value of non-function type 'Data”

Version:
Xcode 8.3.1 (8E1000a)

Notes:
It needs workaround…:
```swift
// work around…
let selector = #selector(XMLDocument.xmlData(withOptions:))
let object = XMLNode.Options.nodePrettyPrint.rawValue
let data3 = document.perform(selector, with: object).takeRetainedValue() as! Data
```

Configuration:
Swift 3.0.2
Swift 3.1

This very poor error message is caused by a type error: xmlData(withOptions:) expects an Int, but XMLNode.Options.nodePrettyPrint.rawValue is a UInt. A better workaround is using the one used in the XMLDocument constructor: cast the rawValue to the right type, like document.xmlData(withOptions: Int(XMLNode.Options.nodePrettyPrint.rawValue)).
