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." Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
