I would imagine the typical situation where % would be used is when
you have lots of jobs. If you have 10000s of jobs the limit of 253
(given by 8-bit and 254+255 reserved) failing jobs will be useless,
but the exit code could be the percentage of failing jobs rounded up
to the nearest integer. So 0% => 0, 0.01% => 1 and 99.99% => 100.
