The trailing-`!`-after-the-value-type spelling (`-> T !`, `-> Tuple(A,B) !`) was a
redundant second way to write a failable return that the parser folded into the
same AST as the parenthesized `(T, !)` / `(A, B, !)` result list. Remove it so
there is ONE canonical spelling: the error channel always rides as the last slot
of the parenthesized list.
- parser: `parseFnReturnType` no longer folds a trailing `!` after a value type —
it rejects it with a located diagnostic ("a failable return is written `(T, !)`
… not `T !`"). This one chokepoint covers fn declarations, lambdas, fn-pointer
types `(A) -> R`, and closure types `Closure(A) -> R`. The error-ONLY `-> !` /
`-> !ErrSet` form is unaffected (parsed by parseTypeExpr as an error_type_expr).
- migrated every usage to canonical form across library/ + examples/ + issues/ +
tests/: `-> T !E` → `-> (T, !E)`; the value-carrying `-> Tuple(A, B) !` (which
FLATTENED to a multi-value failable) → `-> (A, B, !)`, preserving behavior. A
genuine single-tuple-value failable stays `-> (Tuple(A,B), !)`.
- parser unit tests: the "bare form folds" tests become "bare form is rejected";
canonical-form parse tests retained.
- docs: specs.md §12 + scattered refs and readme.md updated to the `(T, !)` form.
Behavior-preserving (the bare form was sugar for the same AST). Adversarial review
confirmed: rejection complete across all positions, every canonical form works on
both success/error paths, error-only `-> !` intact, no crashes. Full suite green
(unit tests + 850 corpus examples).

// Failable `-> !` main entry-point wrapper (ERR step E4.2). A pure-failable
|
|
// main that lets an error reach the function boundary exits 1 and prints the
|
|
// unhandled-error header (with the tag name, via the always-linked tag-name
|
|
// table) plus the return trace to stderr — instead of the old behavior of
|
|
// returning the raw tag id as the exit code with no diagnostic. A successful
|
|
// run (no escaping error) exits 0.
|
|
//
|
|
// Note: the header + trace go to stderr. The test runner merges stderr+stdout,
|
|
// so the snapshot shows them interleaved with the `print` (stdout) lines.
|
|
// Frame locations are placeholders until DWARF (ERR E3.0); count + ordering +
|
|
// the tag name are already meaningful. Expected exit code: 1.
