I haven't heard any offers, I think you're first.  I seem to remember
Charles suggesting that it is difficult to do.  And as it caught a
rather embarrassing case of sloppy programming, it is tempting to
retain its behaviour, somehow.  But that wouldn't advance the cause of
Plan 9 any, unfortunately.

And that lone

	abort();

against the left margin, is positively ugly.
