No they don't. I did consider it at the time but I was wary of pulling
too much over into the uapi headers wholesale. If your happy to do that
I'll include the change in my next version.

I could also rationalise the exit handlers as they all pretty much do
the same thing (save for the exit/syndrome related info). Again I was
keeping things nicely separated in case any particular exception needed
excessive special case handling.

Would you like those changes?
