Swift support

This looks like a very cool tool! Congrats!

Would love to give it a ride with Swift.

Comments in Swift are very similar to comments in C. Single-line comments begin with two forward-slashes (//):

// This is a comment.

Multiline comments start with a forward-slash followed by an asterisk (/) and end with an asterisk followed by a forward-slash (/):

/* This is also a comment
but is written over multiple lines. */

Unlike multiline comments in C, multiline comments in Swift can be nested inside other multiline comments. You write nested comments by starting a multiline comment block and then starting a second multiline comment within the first block. > The second block is then closed, followed by the first block:

/* This is the start of the first multiline comment.
/* This is the second, nested multiline comment. */
This is the end of the first multiline comment. */

Nested multiline comments enable you to comment out large blocks of code quickly and easily, even if the code already > contains multiline comments.

Reference

The file extension of Swift source files is .swift.

Swift also has a concept of documentation comments which begin with three slashes ///, but that's more of an editor concept (Xcode renders them differently) since they're already normal comments by starting with //. Just in case that makes a difference for the parser.

The /// comments won't be an issue. But the nested multi-line comments are not supported in todocheck yet.

I'll need to extend the set of parsers for that one.
