According to the doc string, Fsignal does not return, so
neither does wrong_type_argument. However, looking at
Fsignal, it can return -- and the code in wrong_type_argument
definitely expects this to happen, so it can itself return
a (valid) value.
Fsignal can only return in the case of a quit. That code in
wrong_type_argument is obsolete. Nowadays (and for about ten years),
wrong_type_argument cannot return.
