Does anybody see a downside to introducing a simple way to exit REPL with a status, via something like `(exit 1)'? CMUCL has (defun quit (&optional recklessly-p) "Terminates the current Lisp. Things are cleaned up unless Recklessly-P is non-Nil." but that always exits with status 0, which is often not what is wanted. And (unix:unix-exit 1) is too long to type. `exit STATUS' is so common everywhere that it should be natural to use it in CMUCL, too. -- Alex -- alex-goncharov@comcast.net --
