I don't reopen this enhancement request because I trust your judgement, but
here are some answers:

> Marking as INVALID rather WONTFIX, because the bug report doesn't have any use case at all.

Sometimes to debug normal run-time code I add a printf() followed by an exit()
becuse I don't need the computation to continue after the debug print. The
compile-time exit was meant to be used like that, with the compile-time string
print of bug 3952 (that doesn't print a newline after the string).


> consider what would happen if it were called speculatively, eg in a template constraint.

It's an exit(), so it has to stops the whole compiler and the whole compilation
stack.
