It is therefore most natural to say that Bottom.sizeof == ∞.
True, but size_t.max doesn't have the properties of ∞.
The only sane choice to me seems to be a value of type Bottom,
i.e. is(typeof(Bottom.sizeof) == Bottom).
In this case, Bottom.sizeof is a value of type Bottom, which
must not exist.
It doesn't exist during runtime, but there's no problem to just
generate assert(0) where it's used.
I think my interpretation produces the least exceptions, but if
you have a better idea go ahead.
