Samium,
you're the one who seemingly introduced this with-open-file in 2ca05589. Why do we need such a fancy and not-that-portable way of testing the file is there?
PROBE-FILE fails to catch dead symlinks, and I need a meaningful condition from which I can deduce /what/ is being failed upon, whereas the subtype of FILE-ERROR used by, for example, SBCL, doesn't give me this information.
