Hi Matt,

I like this RFC, but I'd like to see the RFC cover if any other languages
have a similar return type.

The definition of `void` is that it has no return value, so I too agree
that the keyword `noreturn` is too close in meaning to `void`.

I'd also like to throw the word `deadend` or something similar into the
ring, to make things a bit clearer.

Thanks,
Peter
