The current `Void` would have to be renamed to `Unit`, the data type with exactly one possible value. Less C, More Haskell :) But wait, that's not really Haskell-ish, and it's not C-ish either.</span></div></div></blockquote></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">That is the most confusing possible thing that this could possibly be called.
