Since anyref was changed to only be opaque host references and thus renamed to externref I wanted to voice my opinion that the name "exnref" is too close to externref. Definitely bikeshedding--and we don't have to make any decisions immediately per say--but I wanted to bring it up in case the actual solution was to rename externref instead of exnref (probably not, but ?)
I don't have any preferred alternative names at this point, but seems like adding a c and/or p in there could be one way. Or alternatively there's been talk floated over the years several times about the future of this primitive being used for other non-exceptional events, in which case maybe a name more similar to event would be appropriate.
If there was discussion elsewhere about this that I missed (e.g. CG meeting I missed), apologies. This kinda sucks since it was already changed at least once before. Ultimately I just wanted to at least plant the discussion flag before any ships sail and see if I'm alone in this.
