Backburner.  Because I have other things to do for now and also because,
to tell you the truth, I'm not really psyched at the idea of using `throw'
instead of (signal 'quit <value>): after all this quit-on-input is really
a variant of `quit' and not something of a different nature.
Proof is that it should (and does) obey inhibit-quit.
