Hi not sure if this is the correct forum...

exit builtin accepts one and only one arg currently.

Would it be backwards compatible and generally useful to support echoing a

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't see this as being of enough general use
to make part of `exit' when there are so many easy functions to provide it.
