| 9.2.34  invoke-restart | Function |  
 Syntax:
invoke-restart
restart &rest arguments
   {result}* 
Arguments and Values:
restart - a restart designator.
argument - an object.
 
results - the values returned by the function
		   associated with restart, if that function returns.
 
Description:
Calls the function associated with restart,
passing arguments to it.  
Restart must be valid in the current dynamic environment.  
Examples:
 (defun add3 (x) (check-type x number) (+ x 3))
 
 (foo 'seven)
 Error: The value SEVEN was not of type NUMBER.  To continue, type :CONTINUE followed by an option number:  1: Specify a different value to use.  2: Return to Lisp Toplevel.  Debug> (invoke-restart 'store-value 7)  10 
Side Effects:
A non-local transfer of control might be done by the restart.
Affected By:
Existing restarts.
Exceptional Situations:
If restart is not valid, an error of type control-error is signaled.
See Also:
find-restart,
restart-bind,
restart-case,
invoke-restart-interactively
Notes:
The most common use for invoke-restart is in a handler.
It might be used explicitly, or implicitly through invoke-restart-interactively
or a restart function.
Restart functions call invoke-restart, not vice versa.  That is,
invoke-restart provides primitive functionality, and restart functions
are non-essential "syntactic sugar."
