never patterns: It is correct to lower `!` to `_`.
This is just a comment update but a non-trivial one: it is correct to lower `!` patterns as `_`. The reasoning is that `!` matches all the possible values of the type, since the type is empty. Moreover, we do want to warn that the `Err` is redundant in:
```rust
match x {
!,
Err(!),
}
```
which is consistent with `!` behaving like a wildcard.
I did try to introduce `Constructor::Never` and it ended up needing to behave exactly like `Constructor::Wildcard`.
