RE: [sv-ec] opinions on $exit

Steven,

The case I was thinking about is when a task with a $exit call is
defined inside a package, and then called from a module or program
block. The $exit would only have an effect when called from a program
block.

I have added a new mantis item and uploaded a proposal.
