It can be written in Haskell using laziness. Am I quite sure you will
object in some way ;)

blackHole :: a
blackHole = error "black-hole"

*BH> :t blackHole 1 2 3 'a' "ho" (blackHole, 1.2)
blackHole 1 2 3 'a' "ho" (blackHole, 1.2) :: forall t. t

*BH> blackHole 1 2 3 'a' "ho" (blackHole, 1.2)
*** Exception: black-hole

*BH> let _ = blackHole 1 2 3 'a' "ho" (blackHole, 1.2) in "abcdef"
"abcdef"

Best regards,
Tom
