In Release modes, Visual Studio complains that the Operator destructor in User.cpp
never returns, which is true by design.

Initially assumed that the reason is llvm_unreachable being dependent on NDEBUG.

However, even if llvm_unreachable is replaced by __assume(false), VC still warns in
Release modes but not in Debug modes...

The real reason turned out to be optimization flags.
With /Od in Debug modes the warning is not issued whereas with /O1 it is.

I could not find any documentation to this effect, but it is reproducable:

with /O1 and then with /Od.
