+#### Assert Inhabited (`std::intrinsics::assert_inhabited`)
+
+The `assert_inhabited` instrinsic asserts that a type is "inhabited" (able to be instantiated). Types such as
+`Never` (`!`) cannot be instantiated and are uninhabited types. The target / codegen decides how to handle this
+intrinsic, it is not required to panic if the type is not inhabited, it could also perform a NO OP. We have witnessed
+in the case that there is an uninhabited type that the following basic block is `noBasicBlockIdx`, and so we
+error with `#AssertInhabitedFailure` if we see that following the intrinsic. Otherwise, we perform a NO OP.

 ## Simplifications for lists to avoid spurious branching on error cases in control flow
