Not sure what you mean by =E2=80=9Cugly=E2=80=9D, but =E2=80=98_Noreturn=E2= =80=99 has the huge advantage of being a reserved identifier per POSIX (info "(libc) Reserved Names"), while =E2=80=98noreturn=E2=80=99 is not. What would you think of sticking to the standard and less problematic =E2=80=98_Noreturn=E2=80=99 identifier in Gnulib? (I also agree that it=E2=80=99s better for Guile=E2=80=99s public headers t= o use =E2=80=98__noreturn__=E2=80=99, but using =E2=80=98noreturn=E2=80=99 was no= t completely silly either.) Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
