In previous versions of chuck invoking 'exit' on shred didn't seem to
work (for me). Instead I was killing shreds in this way:

shredA.id => machine.remove;

But in 1.2.0.6 'exit' seems to work properly.

Another significant note: the shred which is calling these functions
must not exit. Otherwise those functions won't work for some reason.

Developers, please correct me if I'm wrong :)
