Oh, screw you and the frog you rode in, Frenchie.  Using an inferior
language is no excuse for poor grammar:  "exit at" reads like a freeway
sign, as in "Kentucky Fried Chicken, exit at 12B".  en_sortant is no
better -- worse, I have no idea what this has to do with arranging ants in
order (and what kind of algorithm is en_sort anyway?).
uponbutpriortoexiting is an idea that can't even be expressed in French, I
bet.
