   But the precedent for defining and exposing an internal word has been set in   
   the   
   standard with Locals `(local)`.  So defining `(bye)` seems reasonable.

   `badbye` - did you have a bad breakup as a teen?  If you're a JJ Abrams fan   
   maybe why not `badrobot`.

   Well I had suggested `bye-bye` and tossed the idea of `goodbye` cause is not so   
   good.

   Sounds like something from a horror movie get-out! get out   
   of the house!   
      
   Maybe borrow from non-english:   
      
   	`ciao`  `sayonara`  `fini`   
      
   Maybe ask someone with young children and see what they come up with.  Bet you   
   get some "interesting" answers.

   That would probably something like kill(2), eg: kill(1234, SIGTERM)
