/**
 * "unreachable code" helpers
 *
 * unreachable lines of code are often the source or symptom of subtle bugs.
 * they are flagged by compiler warnings; however, the opposite problem -
 * erroneously reaching certain spots (e.g. due to missing return statement)
 * is worse and not detected automatically.
 *
 * to defend against this, the programmer can annotate their code to
 * indicate to humans that a particular spot should never be reached.
 * however, that isn't much help; better is a sentinel that raises an
 * error if if it is actually reached. hence, the UNREACHABLE macro.
 *
 * ironically, if the code guarded by UNREACHABLE works as it should,
 * compilers may flag the macro's code as unreachable. this would
 * distract from genuine warnings, which is unacceptable.
 *
 * even worse, compilers differ in their code checking: GCC only complains if
 * non-void functions end without returning a value (i.e. missing return
 * statement), while VC checks if lines are unreachable (e.g. if they are
 * preceded by a return on all paths).
 *
 * the implementation below enables optimization and automated checking
 * without raising warnings.
