@ldbeth @rml I like that article and hamfistedly express those ideas sometimes. But I have a few comments about continuations as a non-schemer.
I think the reason continuations were mandated like this is that there are a few constructs (which never happen and at great cost) that are only possible beautifully and in the correct complexity with continuations exactly like this; that we simply must do something else for in common lisp.
@Sandra continuations?
