OK by me, but let's figure out some different terminology.
"Signal" means something else in a POSIX-ish context,
which, while it is obscure, is still approximately 100 times
better known than Lisp. "Handler-case" is just ugly.
"Condition" is confusing; it doesn't have anything to do with
conditional expressions. We could say "exception" instead.
FWIW
