    ///
    /// Reaching this function is completely *undefined behavior* (UB). In
    /// particular, the compiler assumes that all UB must never happen, and

    /// `unreachable_unchecked()`.

    /// Like all instances of UB, if this assumption turns out to be wrong, i.e., the
    /// `unreachable_unchecked()` call is actually reachable among all possible
    /// control flow, the compiler will apply the wrong optimization strategy, and
    /// may sometimes even corrupt seemingly unrelated code, causing
    /// difficult-to-debug problems.

    /// optimizations but will panic when executed.
