   Yes, and because of the latter this name cannot be used for a standard   
   word. Standard words are not internal words, but are part of the public   
   interface.   
      
      
   What about the following options:   
      
      badbye ( n -- never )   
        - because it's probably not normal termination   
        - if n is 0, then it's false-bad (i.e, good)   
      
      goodbye ( n -- never )   
        - ironically when n is not zero   
      
      getout ( n -- never )   
        - send control very far from here

   SIGTERM is a good association with processes.   
      
   Perhaps, SIGTERM can be send to another process too.
