[comp.lang.modula3] RTMisc.i3

I think it would be better to register an object type, cf Thread.Closure,
so that relevant state can be available.  Plus, "normal" exit, i.e. without
an explicit call of Exit, should be defined to call Exit(0), so I can
routinely use it for tidy-up in all cases (its just too easy forget to
code the call). And in that case RTMisc is an awful name for such an
important interface. Why not call it RTExit, and use {Register, Cancel, Apply}?
