Description

The result of `(condition-predicate 'foo)` is documented] to accept any argument and return `#t` iff it is a condition of kind `foo`. In fact, if its argument is not a condition, it raises an exception.

This can be resolved by a doc fix or a code fix. Since basic predicates generally accept any object, I think these should too.
