(restart-case 1 (continue () :report 1)) is valid and means that the restart body has two forms, :report and 1, right? based on the grammar, keyword options whose "value" is not of the specified type would just be interpreted as forms in the handler body. however, for :TEST and :INTERACTIVE "The value … must be a suitable argument to function.". for :REPORT, on the other hand, the description is "If the value supplied

I guess that's not quite true. Some people learn, but then they retire and others, who have not yet learned, take over.

It's a bit concerning, going there to learn computer science, but the alternative is someone lecturing you for an hour on why one should use Oracle products. That's not a joke, that was in the database subject schedule.

It's something to do with "industry connections". They already get $6,000/year from me, and $12,000/year from the government or so for teaching me, surely that'd be enough.
