/// rather than directly invoking [`panic!`] or similar.
///
/// This function is guaranteed to diverge (not return normally with a value), but depending on
/// global configuration, it may either panic (resulting in unwinding or aborting as per
/// configuration for all panics), or abort the process (with no unwinding).
///
/// The default behavior is:
///
///  * If the binary links against `std` (typically the case), then
///   print a message to standard error and abort the process.
///   This behavior can be replaced with [`set_alloc_error_hook`] and [`take_alloc_error_hook`].
///   Future versions of Rust may panic by default instead.
///
/// * If the binary does not link against `std` (all of its crates are marked
///   [`#![no_std]`][no_std]), then call [`panic!`] with a message.
///   [The panic handler] applies as to any panic.
