+``maynotprogress``
+    This attribute indicates that the function is permitted to not return
+    or interact with the environment. Functions without this attribute are
+    implicitly ``mustprogress`` and they must eventually return or
+    interact with the environment in some way, e.g. via a side effect or
+    synchronization. ``mustprogress`` is intended to model the
+    requirements of the first section of `[intro.progress] of the C++
+    Standard <http://eel.is/c++draft/intro.progress>`_. This function
+    attribute does not apply transitively to callees.
