Historically, odd spellings of this sort (in the FreeBSD kernel "exit" is
"sys_exit") have been because exit(3) is not the same as sys_exit(2), as it
runs at_exit handlers, etc. Since it's the syscall handler in DTrace,
presumably that potential ambiguity doesn't actually play out, but it's worth
keeping a wary eye out for...
