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...
