I agree. If we must use symbolic names, I suggest we just follow the
standard, cf. ISO/IEC 9899:1999 §7.20.4.3:
If the value of status is zero or EXIT_SUCCESS, an implementation-
defined form of the status successful termination is returned. If the
value of status is EXIT_FAILURE, an implementation-defined form of the
status unsuccessful termination is returned. Otherwise the status
returned is implementation-defined.
Note that our <stdlib.h> defines EXIT_FAILURE to 1.
