The solution is, of course, to use the McCLIM Debugger!

This may be possible, though I'd rather not perform too much magic in
response to bugs. It makes debugging a pain (once upon a time, Climacs
did eat many errors, and it made me want to tear my hair out. Very
frustrating).

If you implemented such a thing I'd commit it, but I doubt I'll spend
time on it myself.
