This looks like a strange exception for me (i.e. the fact that it
propagates to the main thread). And it's weird to have it as an
asynchronous exception in the main thread.
I would drop this rule and let 'exitWith ExitSuccess' be the way to
commit suicide by a thread, as if it completed, which degenerates to
the Haskell 98 interpretation in a single-threaded program.
BTW, I don't quite like the fact that 'exitFailure' looks simpler than
'exitWith ExitSuccess'.
