         *
         * Note: The two verifiers (old: type inference, new: type checking) have different
         * requirements. Very briefly:
         *
         * Old (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.10.2.1): at
         * each program point, no matter what branches were taken to get there
         *   - Stack is same size and has same typed values
         *   - Local and stack values need to have consistent types
         *   - In practice, the old verifier seems to ignore unreachable code and accept any
         *     instructions after an ATHROW. For example, there can be another ATHROW (without
         *     loading another throwable first).
         *
         * New (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se8/html/jvms-4.html#jvms-4.10.1)
         *   - Requires consistent stack map frames. GenBCode generates stack frames if -target:jvm-1.6
         *     or higher.
         *   - In practice: the ASM library computes stack map frames for us (ClassWriter). Emitting
         *     correct frames after an ATHROW is probably complex, so ASM uses the following strategy:
         *       - Every time when generating an ATHROW, a new basic block is started.
         *       - During classfile writing, such basic blocks are found to be dead: no branches go there
         *       - Eliminating dead code would probably require complex shifts in the output byte buffer
         *       - But there's an easy solution: replace all code in the dead block with with
         *         `nop; nop; ... nop; athrow`, making sure the bytecode size stays the same
         *       - The corresponding stack frame can be easily generated: on entering a dead the block,
         *         the frame requires a single Throwable on the stack.
         *       - Since there are no branches to the dead block, the frame requirements are never violated.
         *
         * To summarize the above: it does matter what we emit after an ATHROW.
         *
         * NOW: if we end up here because we emitted a load of a (phantom) value of type Nothing$,
         * there was no ATHROW emitted. So, we have to make the verifier happy and do something
         * with that value. Since Nothing$ extends Throwable, the easiest is to just emit an ATHROW.
         *
         * If we ended up here because we generated a "throw e" expression, we know the last
         * emitted instruction was an ATHROW. As explained above, it is OK to emit a second ATHROW,
         * the verifiers will be happy.
