There was a problem hiding this comment.
Call unreachable() because the switch is supposed to be exhaustive. The fact that only some compilers give this error and not others makes me wonder if we can fix it with compiler flags too

Added a throw instead. That should be cheap and more correct in the long run anyway. |

No longer relevant, since it's an exception instead of unreachable now.
