+ <code>Nil</code> is Gleam's unit type. It is a value that is returned by
+ functions that have nothing else to return, as all functions much return
+ something.

+<p>
+ <code>Nil</code> is not a valid value of any other types, that is values in
+ Gleam are not nullable. If the type of a value is <code>Nil</code> then it is
+ the value <code>nil</code>. If it is some other type then the value is not
+ <code>Nil</code>.
