BSO's C and Pascal compilers also support a keyword (I think it's
"$INTERRUPT") which allows a routine to be identified as an interrupt
handler.  The compiler then generates the appropriate code, i.e. RTI rather
than RTS.  They also provide some kind of macro mechanism for initializing
the interrupt vector table to connect to your routine.  I forget exactly
how this works.
