Speaking of which, I think we shouldn't give it a name, same as
typeof(null). Just keep it typeof(assert(0)). Then wherever it occurs it
is immediately clear it has a special status requiring a second look
(which it does). -- Andrei
And btw this is technically a breaking change because somebody somewhere
is liable to write code like:
void fun()
{
...
return assert(0);
}
I'm not too worried about it though, and in fact we may even still
accept it because hey typeof(assert(0)) converts to anything so how
about it even converts to void.
