Issue MUFFLE-WARNING-CONDITION-ARGUMENT Writeup

Issue:		MUFFLE-WARNING-CONDITION-ARGUMENT

Reference:	Draft 8.81

		Issue: CONDITION-RESTARTS

Category:	CHANGE/CLARIFICATION

Edit History:	Version 1, 06/15/91, Kim Barrett

		Version 2, 10/17/91, Steve Haflich, current practice


Problem Description:


 A user recently noted that MUFFLE-WARNING was left out of the list of restart

 functions which take an optional condition argument.


Proposal:


 Add MUFFLE-WARNING to the list of restart functions which take an optional

 condition argument.


Editorial Impact:


 None.  The editor included this change when merging the CONDITION-RESTARTS

 proposal into the draft, with a comment stating that it was pending a formal

 decision by the committee.


Rationale:


 Both authors of the CONDITION-RESTARTS proposal claim that leaving out

 MUFFLE-WARNING was an oversight. 


Current Practice:


 IIM implements this proposal.


 Lucid does not appear to have implemented CONDITION-RESTARTS yet.


 Franz does not implement the optional argument to MUFFLE-WARNING.


Discussion:


 Note that Steele CLtL2 p.913 also conforms to this proposal without

 comment, so users will indeed expect it. - smh 17oct91
