Unresolved Questions

• Name of the method? Might be better to have a free function instead of associated method, but then there's no good name for it that wouldn't overlap with the existing process::exit. As a postfix verb it's sorta clunky, or maybe doesn't communicate explicitly with what the process is being exited? I think exit_process strikes a good balance but I discussed it more in the impl PR ExitCode::exit_process() method #95356.
