First of all, do we have a consensus on changing anything? I think so:
Rafeal, Artur, Liz and Jan are in favor of the general concept of exit()
terminating the app, and threads->exit() terminating the thread. Any
dissensions?
No, I agree (it was originally my suggestion).
Next is the question of this being overridable such that exit() can be
made to just terminate just the thread. Liz and Artur are in on this.
Others?
I'm not convinced of the need. Why can't the user just do
BEGIN {
package CORE::GLOBAL;
sub exit { thread->exit }
}
if they really wish to override the module author's wishes?
Because that would apply to all threads then, including the main
thread? Which may not be what you want?
