Hmmm. This looks remarkably similar to something I got half
way through dreaming up a while back, that I was going to
call "Simple Continuations" (by analogy with "Simple Generators").
Maybe I should finish working out the details and write it up.
On the other hand, it may turn out that it's subsumed by
the new enhanced generators plus a trampoline.
