For commonly used restarts, it is conventional to define a program interface
that hides the use of <tt>invoke-restart</tt>. Such program interfaces to restarts
are called <i>restart functions</i>.
<P>
The normal convention is for the function to share the name of the restart.
The pre-defined functions <tt>abort</tt>, <tt>continue</tt>, <tt>muffle-warning</tt>, <tt>store-value</tt>, and
<tt>use-value</tt> are restart functions. With <tt>use-value</tt> the above example of
<tt>handler-bind</tt> could have been written more concisely as
<P><pre>
(handler-bind ((unbound-variable
#'(lambda (c) ;Argument <tt>c</tt> is a condition
(use-value (cell-error-name c)))))
<i>body</i>)
