So, as I recall, the advice I gave to yitzi was that the client has to define G and H as well, but that is kind of unsatisfactory if there are many similar functions.

Maybe it's a non issue. I guess I'll find out as I work on the condition system. In this case, F is SIGNAL and G and H are WARN, ERROR, etc.

For example, suppose we have a Common Lisp implementation that uses (say) Parcl (the package system) intrinsically. We would like to take advantage of the same code for cross compilation without loading it again as an extrinsic system. But then we might want to change the way some low-level function works for the purpose of cross compilation.

Besides, we can't load it again as an extrinsic system, because the PARCL package would be defined in two different ways in the same Common Lisp image.
