my currently accreting coroutines module, which will, if all goes
well, appear in TPJ #21, will implement its continuations by rewriting
all lexical variables and all controlled loop constructs containing
yield calls in terms of explicitly named and recoverable structures,
allowing coro drivers to jump to any of several entry points as the
first thing on entry into a coro.
For announcements and discussion as this project develops, I have just
now ordered up a EZMLM list, to subscribe send a message to

If someone else is working on a continuation syntax or semantics, I'd
like to have mine resemble yours, please contact me re: it.
