Is it possible to unset an at\_exit proc? Currently, I’m calling exit! in  
order to bypass defined exit handlers, but it seems like there should be  
a better way, such as unsetting specific procs that I may not want to  
run at exit because of some runtime condition.

Currently, no.

Can’t you check the condition inside the proc?
