Yeah! We need a fluid to hold the restarts, and some sort of restart
data type that includes a prompt tag and a description of the
restart. Something like that. We should look to see what other schemes
do, and what other lisps do.

Fortunately this can be implemented entirely in Scheme :) Someone
interested in making a prototype?
