## Issue MUFFLE-WARNING-CONDITION-ARGUMENT Writeup

    Issue:		MUFFLE-WARNING-CONDITION-ARGUMENT
    Reference:	Draft 8.81
    		Issue: CONDITION-RESTARTS
    Category:	CHANGE/CLARIFICATION
    Edit History:	Version 1, 06/15/91, Kim Barrett
    		Version 2, 10/17/91, Steve Haflich, current practice

    Problem Description:

     A user recently noted that MUFFLE-WARNING was left out of the list of restart
     functions which take an optional condition argument.

    Proposal:

     Add MUFFLE-WARNING to the list of restart functions which take an optional
     condition argument.

    Editorial Impact:

     None.  The editor included this change when merging the CONDITION-RESTARTS
     proposal into the draft, with a comment stating that it was pending a formal
     decision by the committee.

    Rationale:

     Both authors of the CONDITION-RESTARTS proposal claim that leaving out
     MUFFLE-WARNING was an oversight.

    Current Practice:

     IIM implements this proposal.

     Lucid does not appear to have implemented CONDITION-RESTARTS yet.

     Franz does not implement the optional argument to MUFFLE-WARNING.

    Discussion:

     Note that Steele CLtL2 p.913 also conforms to this proposal without
     comment, so users will indeed expect it. - smh 17oct91
