Re: Issue: THE-AMBIGUITY

We've always said that issues that arise during the editorial process will
still be accepted. I'm trying to cut off the flood of "wouldn't it be nice
if..."'s. Its probably important for us to put off new issues until we get
the letter ballot for all of the old ones resolved. (I have your name down
next to a couple of them.)


On your proposed implementation: one string of issues that I still hope we
can resolve (if not by first draft) is to specify more fully the types of
errors signalled. CONDITIONS:INVALID-TYPE-SPECIFIER seems like a reasonable
error for TYPEP to signal if it is given one. An implementation of THE
might want to handler-bind that particular condition, although it would be
free to do something else instead.
