Sorry, I wanted to say (defgroup exit "Exit Sawfish" :group misc).

Who can distinguish the function (quit) which kills sawfish from
(exit)?  (If 'quit' had been named 'raw-quit', then there were no
problem, but we can *never* rename this core function. ;)

But I insist that exit-session will be better than bare 'exit' by the
above reason. (I'm not sure for the word "session". I don't know
exactly how the word "session" is used inside the current Sawfish, and
the common meaning outside of Sawfish, either. Of course it's better
than my "exit-wrapper".)
