Yes, you're right, I confused myself.  The code in headers.lisp
already has the return code in a local variable and doesn't update it
after the error handler returns.  The original intent (code by Stefan
Scholl IIRC) obviously was that it should work a bit like Apache's
ErrorDocument directive.  And I agree that it generally is a bad idea
to change the return code in an error handler (see for example Apache
documentation for "ErrorDocument").

Yes.
