This is almost always a bad idea, especially for keys that pass through
non-opaque object pointers in the frameworks. I've added a note in r159972 at
http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ObjectiveCLiterals.html under "Caveats".

Using == to compare general objects for equality does have more reasonable
uses, such as to determine which table view you are currently being a data
source for. (Admittedly, being a data source for two table views is probably a
bad idea for other reasons, but...)

The "== nil" case is a good point, though. I think this should still warn in
macros, but perhaps not warn for comparisons to nil.
