      Entering /help /exit from within jshell gives the
      following:

      |
      | /exit
      |
      | Leave the jshell tool. No work is saved.
      | Save any work before using this command
      |
      | /exit
      | Leave the jshell tool. The exit status is zero.
      |
      | /exit <integer-expression-snippet>
      | Evaluate the snippet. If the snippet fails or is not an integer
      expression,
      | display the error. Otherwise leave the jshell tool with the
      | value of the expression as the exit status

      It looks like there are two different descriptions for /exit with no
      argument, which is confusing. Formatting needs to be cleaned up to make it clear what happens with and without an argument.
