Check your eyes. X3J11/88-001, dated January 11, 1988, page 155, section
4.10.4.1 (The abort function), last line on the page:
The abort function cannot return to its caller.
This line also occurs in all subsequent versions of the draft, as well
as the Standard itself.
You lose, factually and conceptually. Can we now please drop this?
