This paper removes UB around use of void expressions. Previously, code like this had undefined behavior:
```
  void foo(void) {
    (void)(void)1;
    extern void x;
    x;
  }
```
and this is now well-defined in C2y. Functionally, this now means that it is valid to use `void` as a `_Generic` association.
