-A utility function for indicating unreachable code. It will fail if
-executed. This is occasionally useful to put after loops that never
-terminate normally, but instead directly return from a function.

-# Example

-~~~ {.rust}
-fn choose_weighted_item(v: &[Item]) -> Item {
-    assert!(!v.is_empty());
-    let mut so_far = 0u;
-    for v.each |item| {
-        so_far += item.weight;
-        if so_far > 100 {
-            return item;
-        }
-    }
-    // The above loop always returns, so we must hint to the
-    // type checker that it isn't possible to get down here
-    util::unreachable();
