It seems inconvenient for a predicate to throw type error. I have used
process-live-p a few times and was always surprised. It seems better to
simply return nil for non-process arg. buffer-live-p does something
similar.
In octave.el, I have to use another one-liner
(defun inferior-octave-process-live-p ()
(and inferior-octave-process (process-live-p inferior-octave-process)))
to mitigate this problem which would be redundant if process-live-p
doesn't throw error for non-process arg. So I wonder if you object to
the following tweak:
