+If TIMEOUT occurs after GET-FOO has executed, but before the assignment, then
+RELEASE-FOO will be missed. While individual sites like this can be made proof
+against asynchronous unwinds, this doesn't solve the fundamental issue, as all
+the frames potentially unwound through need to be proofed, which includes both
+system and application code -- and in essence proofing everything will make
+the system uninterruptible."
