Re: Merging calls to `abort'

    Many of us have developed software for a similar period of time,
    and yet feel differently.

We may have had different experiences working on different kinds of
programs in different ways.

How much will you gain by cross-jumping these calls?  When you use
abort after issuing a diagnostic, is that done in a subroutine such as
fancy_abort?  If so, I suppose there would not really be an
opportunity to cross-jump any calls to abort.
