FWIW, it works for me (with an Emacs compiled from the
`scratch/handler-bind` branch).
when I do `C-x C-e` at the end of `(foo)`, I get into the debugger, and
I do

    M-: (funcall (nth 2 (car pm/restarts))) RET

I get back into the debugger but with a different gensymd symbol.
And if I redefine `baz` to something that doesn't signal an error,

    M-: (funcall (nth 2 (car pm/restarts))) RET

then lets me return to the toplevel.
