The thing is, `void` means "no return type" (or "no type" in
some contexts), i.e., void == TBottom in that case.
Not *quite* correct. void is not a bottom type; it's a unit
type, meaning that it's a type with only 1 value (as is null,
interestingly). void does not mean "no return type"; it means
"there's only 1 possible value that can be returned". A
function returning TBottom means that the function will never
return, e.g., it loops forever, or throws an exception, etc.
Whoops, skimmed over the post already mentioning this.
