     Eh?  I thought you did.  In that case, forget what I said.  I was arguing

    against that.  I don't see a reason to argue against a concept which has no

    defenders :-).

    I was kinda hoping that one of use had some direct knowledge of what

    continuations should be.  It appears, though, that the best we can do is

    that Forth backtracking code (which treated a return pointer as a

    continuation).  I guess if it works...
