+Panics the current thread.
+
+This allows a program to terminate immediately and provide feedback
+to the caller of the program. `panic!` should be used when a program reaches
+an unrecoverable state.
+
+This macro is the perfect way to assert conditions in example code and in
+tests. `panic!` is closely tied with the `unwrap` method of both [`Option`]
+and [`Result`][runwrap] enums. Both implementations call `panic!` when they are set
+to None or Err variants.
+
+This macro is used to inject panic into a Rust thread, causing the thread to
+panic entirely. Each thread's panic can be reaped as the `Box<Any>` type,
+and the single-argument form of the `panic!` macro will be the value which
+is transmitted.
+
+[`Result`] enum is often a better solution for recovering from errors than
+using the `panic!` macro. This macro should be used to avoid proceeding using
+incorrect values, such as from external sources. Detailed information about
+error handling is found in the [book].
+
+The multi-argument form of this macro panics with a string and has the
+[`format!`] syntax for building a string.
+
+See also the macro [`compile_error!`], for raising errors during compilation.
