Sometimes standards don't offer the flexibility needed.  E.g. for turnkey applications
I needed a way to differentiate between 'abort to OS with error code' and 'quit to OS
with no error'.  To that end I use ABORT ABORT" for the former and QUIT for the latter.
Also QUIT in my system is not trap-able with CATCH (contrary to ANS which assigns
QUIT a throw code).
