Just a bit of useless me-too-ism here, but I'm with Marc on this. It's
ridiculous that there is no (exit int) call in R5RS, especially since
there was supposed to be some kind of focus on compiled code. This
SRFI might not be a bad place to introduce the function, especially
since it is explicitly for addressing OS issues.
