Remove the never type documentation #945
Description
Activity
FWIW, there was a renewed effort at rust-lang/rust#79470 to attempt to stabilize it.
I don't think it should be removed, because it is stable as a function return type.
Its usage there is not as a type, but as a stand-in for not return a type.
I wonder how long it'll be until it can be actually stabilized.
Maybe, instead of removing, we can mark them as nightly-only and strip or gray them out when building the reference for stable Rust. For the people doing their daily work on nightly Rust, maybe it's worth giving them a version of reference for the broader language.
That's supposed to be the purview of The Unstable Book. Otherwise, trying to document things that are going to change is a lot of churn and we don't have the manpower for that.
I'm going to close as we have reworked the never type chapter a little bit to focus about it being only as a return type, and its coercion behavior. If and when never is stabilized, we'll be able to rework it as appropriate.
It's still not stable. :(
