+Emulates UNIX exit() (which considers C<exit 1> to indicate an error) by
+mapping the C<1> to SS$_ABORT (C<44>).  This behavior may be overridden
+with the pragma C<use vmsish 'exit'>.  As with the CRTL's exit()
+function, C<exit 0> is also mapped to an exit status of SS$_NORMAL
+(C<1>); this mapping cannot be overridden.  Any other argument to exit()
+is used directly as Perl's exit status. (VMS)
