I'm not sure.  Maybe it could be called upon to run static destructors and destruct 
heap-allocated objects.  But in order to call scope guards and RAII, it would need to 
unwind the call stack, which could get complicated if you're trying to do it from within a 
function.

It's much simpler not to use exit() and throw a custom exception instead.
