>       * What is your evaluation of the proposal?

+1, but I prefer Never (or other "generic" names), because that allows to 
use this standard empty type for other purposes, such as Optional<Never>, 
Either<T, Never>, throws Never.

>       * Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a 
change to Swift?

I think yes. The proposal suggests a nice syntactic enhancement, 
seamlessly integrating noreturn functions into the type system.

>       * Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of 
Swift?

Unified and minimalistic way of doing things - I think yes.

It is equivalent to Void type in Haskell, or Nothing in Scala.

>       * How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick 
reading, or an in-depth study?

Between a quick reading and an in-depth study.
