The exceptional style has its merits.  If C had a resonable multivalued
return mechanism like alef or limbo, I think it would have been a better
solution.

There's no reason other than personal preference to not use the same
model at user level, it's just a stack of long jmp variables.  However,
I haven't found the need.  Return values seem to work just as well
though they are much wordier.
