      Compiling this code under MSVC produces the following warning:

      [1/2] CXX build\ninja\mongo\db\ops\write_ops_parsers_test.obj
e:\workspace\mongo\src\mongo\db\ops\write_ops_parsers_test.cpp(341) : warning C4715: 'mongo::A0xc872fdd4::`anonymous namespace'::MyMockDBClient::call': not all control paths return a value

      The warning disappears if the invariant is changed to MONGO_UNREACHABLE, which probably means that the infinite loop in MONGO_invariant
      is confusing the compiler somehow.
