+<p>
+ The <code>panic</code> keyword is similar to the <code>todo</code> keyword,
+ but it is used to crash the program when the program has reached a point that
+ should never be reached.
+</p>
+<p>
+ This keyword should almost never be used! It may be useful in initial
+ prototypes and scripts, but its use in a library or production application is
+ a sign that the design could be improved. With well designed types the type
+ system can typically be used to make these invalid states unrepresentable.
