Hi, while investigating using GNU APL for scripting (--script), I have two
questions:

1) Is there a way to specify an exit code in APL scripts? I didn't see any
⎕FIO or system call interface to invoke the host OS exit() with a code
other than the implied 0 code in GNU APL's source function Code_OFF()
function;

2) Is it intentional that there is a behavioural difference with GNU APL
when configured with the CORE_COUNT_WANTED= environment variable set
explicitly:

$ make clean
$ CORE_COUNT_WANTED=4 ./configure && make -j
...
$ src/apl -q
)OFF
Killed
$ echo $?
137

versus

$ make clean
$ ./configure && make -j
...
$ src/apl -q
)OFF
$ echo $?
0

Also running without the -q flag, )OFF prints the 'Goodbye' and 'Session
Duration' information upon exit when CORE_COUNT_WANTED= is not set, and
just 'Killed' when it is.

I don't know if this is symptomatic of anything but thought it might be
worth mentioning, in case this is a bug?
