A few people (including me) have tripped up over exit handling and style in
the past. It might be nice to formulate some specific sentences about program
exit paths, functions, and also return values, to put in the style guide.
For example, we have sysexits(3), but my understanding is we prefer not to use
it. Likewise, we do like to use err()/warn() in preference to perror() and
exit(), etc.
