So instead of writing

  (restart-bind ((a ...)
                 (b ...))
    (run-test (find-test foo)))

they should probably write

  (handler-bind ((serious-condition (c)
                   (restart-bind ((a ...)
                                  (b ...))
                     (error c))))
    (run-test (find-test foo)))

Hmm. Seems like I learned something from the thread indeed. :-)

Thank you,
