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?
I think this is a good idea, and would be of great practical value.
It may a good idea to use ISLISP as a starting point. ISLISP is more or less a subset of Common Lisp with an almost identical condition system, but has a defined condition hierarchy that is more detailed than that of ANSI CL. Although there are not a lot of ISLISP implementations around, I think it would be of value to try to be compatible with ISLISP in this (and other) regards.
