I haven't heard any offers, I think you're first. I seem to remember
Charles suggesting that it is difficult to do. And as it caught a
rather embarrassing case of sloppy programming, it is tempting to
retain its behaviour, somehow. But that wouldn't advance the cause of
Plan 9 any, unfortunately.
And that lone
abort();
against the left margin, is positively ugly.
