Alternative names:
func infiniteLoop() -> _ { // Use an underscore instead?
while true {}
}
func infiniteLoop() -> Unreachable {
while true {}
}
func infiniteLoop() -> Unreachable<Void> {
while true {}
}
Issues:
* Clang and Swift 2.2 allow non-returning functions to have a non-void return type.
* [LibraryEvolution.rst] @noreturn is a versioned attribute, so how will this proposal affect that design?
