/**
 * Bottom type, representing the subclass of any value or object.
 *
 * Although JavaScript programmers can't explicitly denote the bottom type,
 * it comes up in static analysis. For example, if we have:
 * <code>
 * var x = null;
 * if (x) {
 *   f(x);
 * }
 * </code>
 * We need to be able to assign {@code x} a type within the {@code f(x)}
 * call. Since it has no possible type, we assign {@code x} the NoType,
 * so that {@code f(x)} is legal no matter what the type of {@code f}'s
 * first argument is.
 *
 * @see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_type">Bottom types</a>
