fun, haha, we wrote a little helper word called nexit. ("short for n-exit", as we said in the documentation...)

it directly overwrites the control stack so that we can force our caller to return immediately, which is handy when transforming existing code, but not a great idea otherwise. we intentionally avoided most forms of non-local control transfer up to now, but we need it. or, at least, it's probably fine.
