   Don't like this behaviour; it comes off like a side-effect.

   I'd be content with `(bye)`.

   Just because there was nothing in the standard and I was not aware of what   
   others did.  I had considered `OSEXIT`  or `EXIT-TO-HOST`, but neither of these   
   come off as related to `BYE` when you see the name.   
      
   	(bye)   
   	bye-code   
   	bye-status   
   	bye-exit   
   	bye-bye   ( ok I'm getting silly; point is it should relate to BYE )

   I do _not_ like this choice, because I associate "halt" with system halt, ie.   
   `shutdown -h now` or `halt(1)`.   
      
   And certainly not `hcf`.
