Doesn't anybody think that it would be a good thing to have a CDR suggesting an agreed upon extension of the CL standard ERROR/CONDITION hierarchy?
Definitely! While working on a portable implementation of the functions in the sequences dictionary I found that I frequently wanted more specific conditions to indicate that some sequence is not a proper sequence, that some values <start,end> are not valid bounding index designators, etc. I would certainly consider contributing to such a CDR document, in particular in areas where I have already experienced the need for more specific conditions.
