+1, I feel it will be very 'Swifty' to replace magical @noreturn attribute
to clear special type(which then, later, probably could be used as bottom
type). But I prefer "Never" as such type's name. IMO it's very easy to
teach anyone that "Never" can't have instance of its type so `-> Never`
means the func will not return and it reads clearly "returns never", so I
believe it will not confuse one after first teching of meaning of Never type.

What goes into a review?
The goal of the review process is to improve the proposal under review through
constructive criticism and contribute to the direction of Swift. When writing
your review, here are some questions you might want to answer in your review:
* What is your evaluation of the proposal?
* Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change
to Swift?
* Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?
* If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature,
how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?
* How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick
reading, or an in-depth study?
