You've probably put your finger on a weakness of error-kit, in
that it uses exceptions for general stack manipulation.  If
you're not actually using continue or continue-with, you might be
better off with c.c.condition -- flexible exception objects
without error-kit's complexity.

If you *are* actually using continue or continue-with, I'd be very
interested to know your actual use cases.

All of error-kit is in danger of being too clever.  But it does
seem like a predicate fn to do that might be warrented.  Call it
something like 'control-exception?'.
