Christian, I want to kiss you!  (OK, just a hug.  We're both
Europeans. :-)

This one remark suddenly made me understand much better what
continuations do -- it was the one missing piece of insight I still
needed after Tim's explanation and skimming the Scheme tutorial a bit.
I'll have to think more about the consequences but this finally made
me understand better how to interpreter the mysterious words ``the
continuation represents "the rest of the program"''.
