[Sbcl-devel] style warning when signalling a non-SERIOUS-CONDITION using ERROR

[Attila L. <att...@gm...>]

the situation:

  - ERROR enters the debugger if no handlers did any non-local
    returns.

  - people tend to install handlers for SERIOUS-CONDITION with the
    intention to deal with errors.

but ERROR doesn't care whether the condition object is typep S-C or
not.

what do you think about signaling a STYLE-WARNING or a WARNING from
ERROR in those cases?

does the CLHS say anything about this?
