i didn't properly understand the meaning of pre-unwind and post-unwind handlers
when i wrote the above. i thought they are something more peculiar than what
they actually are.

what i didn't understand is that FALSE-IF-EXCEPTION is implemented with a
simple CATCH, so its handler should have shadowed my handler. but what actually
happens is more sinister, see my other mail with the test case.

yep. with the addendum that CL has two entirely different macros for unwinding
and non-unwinding WITH-EXCEPTION-HANDLER. and the handlers are always
uninstalled before they are called. and there's no multitude of duplicate
primitives for almost identical functionality due to a single revision of the
CL standard.

this is user code, sorry. it's something we added to be able to decorate
backtraces with domain-specific data.
