On reading the description of __attribute__ ((noreturn)) in the
manual, it occurred to me to wonder if it was valid to longjmp back up
out of such a noreturn function, to some higher point in the program.
It'd be nice if that could be stated.

It doesn't particularly worry me whether a longjmp is allowed or not,
or might be allowed in the future or whatever, I just thought the
manual could try to say something to stop anyone wondering or making
wrong assumptions.
