I prefer the void return and throw if needed approach, it looks way more u=
nderstandable=2E I was confused by that part when reading the RFC and reall=
y surprised that returning an Throwable on success is ignored, which is not=
 clear at all when reading the interface=2E

The in-out parameter works too but is a bit weirder, and makes it unclear =
what happens if exitContext throws=2E

It's also unclear to me in the current desugarized version what happens wh=
en exitContext throws, the reset of the context var does not happen ? There=
 is nothing to handle that=2E
