-      On older Python versions, :data:`NoReturn` may be used to express the
-      same concept. ``Never`` was added to make the intended meaning more explicit.

-.. data:: NoReturn
-
-   Special type indicating that a function never returns.
-
-   For example::
-
-      from typing import NoReturn
-
-      def stop() -> NoReturn:
-          raise RuntimeError('no way')
-
-   ``NoReturn`` can also be used as a
-   `bottom type <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_type>`_, a type that
-   has no values. Starting in Python 3.11, the :data:`Never` type should
-   be used for this concept instead. Type checkers should treat the two
-   equivalently.
