Hm. Python's try/finally has several uses in virtually every program. Trouble is, Scheme's continuations make it impossible to know when something is really final. In fact, implementing coroutines and cooperative multitasking using continuations almost guarantee a repeated back-and-forth through dynamic-wind. I strongly suspect Scheme's continuations are more trouble than they are worth. Marko
