+/// Replaces function bodies with `loop {}` (an infinite loop). This gets rid of
+/// all semantic errors in the body while still satisfying the return type,
+/// except in certain cases, see below for more.
+///
+/// This pass is known as `everybody_loops`. Very punny.
+///
+/// As of March 2021, `everybody_loops` is only used for the
+/// `-Z unpretty=everybody_loops` debugging option.
+///
+/// FIXME: Currently the `everybody_loops` transformation is not applied to:
+///  * `const fn`; support could be added, but hasn't. Originally `const fn`
+///    was skipped due to issue #43636 that `loop` was not supported for
+///    const evaluation.
+///  * `impl Trait`, due to issue #43869 that functions returning impl Trait cannot be diverging.
+///    Solving this may require `!` to implement every trait, which relies on the an even more
