Thank you, Faré. This is an obvious improvement.

Question: shouldn't I add this as

(deftype FATAL-CONDITION ...)

and try to use that everywhere, instead of writing duplicate code
everywhere?  That would also solve the "lists in match-condition-p" problem.

I think the CCL folks agree that it was a mistake to make PROCESS-RESET
a SERIOUS-CONDITION, but we have to live with it.
