  - Description:
 - 
The intent of the abort restart is to allow return to the
innermost "command level."  Implementors are encouraged to make 
sure that there is always a restart named abort 
around any user code so that user code can call abort 
at any time and expect something reasonable to happen;
exactly what the reasonable thing is may vary somewhat.  Typically,
in an interactive listener, the invocation of abort
returns to the Lisp reader phase of the Lisp read-eval-print loop,
though in some batch or multi-processing
situations there may be situations in which having it kill the running 
process is more appropriate.
