The DIP mentions that, (e.g. I also don't like the syntax
"@noreturn int fun()"),
but I don't understand what "other uses" of a type tBottom there
are, which
the DIP states are not possible in C++.
Especially I want a section that explains how tBottom is
different from void in such situations.
For functions that don't return it's clear, but else?
