The downside is yet another way to exit the Lisp.  How many interfaces do we
need?  You already mentioned two.  Is it worth spending the kludge points to
add a third method?  The advantage you cited is that unix-exit is too long
for you to type.  Sounds like a worthwhile addition to your personal or site
init file.
