To which you now reply:

Could you explain what is unclean about using `signal' ?
Currently, the only non-local exit that ever happens "asynchronously"
is the quit signal and it's also the only thing that obeys the
inhibit-quit flag. The feature I'd like to introduce is also
an asynchonous non-local exit and should also obey the inhibit-quit
flag, so it seems eminently natural to use a quit signal as well.
The fact that the implementation is easier this way is just
reflects the fact that it is the "right" approach.
