+// HACK: if langext.h is included before this (which for alphabet reasons happens
+// often), our noreturn definition breaks Microsoft's debug headers for
+// string.h, if it wasn't already included. so we do something similar to the
+// hack in gamedata.h except this time not only to avoid namespace pollution but
+// to avoid completely breaking everything. dumb, bad, very doubleplusungood.
