| It probably depends on how much you make use of frameworky stuff.

Even then, the motivation is both bogus and wrong and the design goes
against basic debugger sense which ALL implementations have implemented!
I do not see the stated `technical advantage', and it seems to you like
it because it handles a SPECIFIC restart for a SPECIFIC combination of
Lisp (SBCL) and a specific application framework. which you have used.

I do not encounter those paths, and it pessimises my sldb experience.
In particular when I provide restarts, I want the user to be able to
choose 0 as the first restart.
