+/// Invokes a closure, aborting if the closure unwinds.

+/// When compiled with aborting panics, this function is effectively a no-op.
+/// With unwinding panics, an unwind results in another call into the panic
+/// hook followed by a process abort.
+///
+/// # Notes
+///
+/// Instead of using this function, code should attempt to support unwinding.
+/// Implementing [`Drop`] allows you to restore invariants uniformly in both
+/// return and unwind paths.
+///
+/// If an unwind can lead to logical issues but not soundness issues, you
+/// should allow the unwind. Opting out of [`UnwindSafe`] indicates to your
+/// consumers that they need to consider correctness in the face of unwinds.
+///
+/// If an unwind would be unsound, then this function should be used in order
+/// to prevent unwinds. However, note that `extern "C" fn` will automatically
+/// convert unwinds to aborts, so using this function isn't necessary for FFI.
