As for the closeout thing, what I'm thinking of is a way to say "This
stack frame is complete" and start a new frame, even if there's still
space left in the stack chunk. Doing this makes continuations and
co-routines easier. Why is sort of complex, and I need to write it
down and send it to the list.
