Interesting, actually it seems a good idea to take advantage of
this. A pity it is not more extensive, and would also apply to
the nested case (Constraint_Error raised, no CE handler
anywhere, but you get stuck waiting for an inner task to
terminate), not to mention the silent task termination case.

I really don't see generating junk output from a program whose
formal semantics is well defined and which is not expected to
generate any output.

However, I suppose an option to fix all three problems in the
obvious way at the same time would make sense if it is not the
standard mode.
