Thanks for the reply.

I've only dabbled with some Schemes, but given Lisp's homoiconic nature, I'm guessing it would also be possible to generate and persist a unit test based on the failing call too, right?

I think that'll be possible.

As long as you can persist all the state (which is easy if you are programming in a functional manner), then you will know exactly what sort of input caused a crash in your program. And when you have the data, you can write it in a manner that is later readable by the Lisp reaer.
