  IMHO, no.  The ORCA method was created because at one time GS/OS
didn't support restarting through the Quit call.  It does now,
and thus is the standard.  If a program does rexit(), then it should
be restartable, period.  If the memory is needed the Memory Manager
will purge the restartable image anyway.
