Seems apropos, short, to the point and indicative of an internal word.  Default
can be defined to return to the host OS with an exit status `u`, but maybe be
replaced in (unhosted) environments to perform some sort of system reset, power

I agree that it is the politically correct definition.
However the question was, is it worth it to standardise.
The answer is of course: no.
