It's better than dumping core, isn't it?
If you don't want your application putting the user into the debugger,
there are straightforward, portable ways to bypass it. Since Lisp doesn't
know where your application's top-level loop is, it can't do this
automatically (it could pop all the way out to the Lisp read-eval-print
loop, but that's almost as bad as dumping core).
