Yeah, I wrote an experimental patch for noreturn support some years ago, 
and that was also my result back then.  (I assume you have a current 
patch, otherwise I can dig out that one.)  I had also written down that 
there were some problems with Perl and Tcl headers, FWIW.  Did you have 
any problems with those?

I think we can take a small loss here and move with the standard. 
Unless you can think of a way to define 
pg_noreturn_but_for_function_pointers in a systematic way.
