Not sure. The first question is if all the lisps we support support
CL conditions. I think the answer is yes, except for, maybe, gcl.
But gcl has had a lot of advances recently.
I think the maxima interface will be the tricky part. I don't know
how to do that.
But maxima does allow throw/catch style conditions, which might be
enough.
