Oh, I was mistaken then.

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.
