/// The entry point for panic of Rust tasks.
///
/// This macro is used to inject panic into a Rust task, causing the task to
/// unwind and panic entirely. Each task's panic can be reaped as the
/// `Box<Any>` type, and the single-argument form of the `panic!` macro will be
/// the value which is transmitted.
///
/// The multi-argument form of this macro panics with a string and has the
/// `format!` syntax for building a string.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```should_fail
/// # #![allow(unreachable_code)]
/// panic!();
/// panic!("this is a terrible mistake!");
/// panic!(4i); // panic with the value of 4 to be collected elsewhere
/// panic!("this is a {} {message}", "fancy", message = "message");
/// ```
