Description
Setting *disable-with-error-handling* to true causes with-error-handling to evaluate its forms without any error handling in place. Any handler-form or error-form in the with-error-handling is ignored.

Setting *disable-with-error-handling* to true is very handy for debugging an unexpected error in a with-error-handling form.

  ;;  (error-message) => "Attempt to divide 10 by zero."
  nil 
  > (setf *disable-with-error-handling* 't)
  t
  > (with-error-handling (/ 10 0) (printv (error-message)) nil)
  Error: Attempt to divide 10 by zero.
