So when do we get to Pickle continuation objects and send them out
across the network, or even better, to another VM running on a second
processor? :)

Personally, I think continuations and coroutines are beautiful, and
easier and simpler than threads. Yay Christian! (and Yay Guido for
writing Python!)

PS. Can someone point me to example code for building smalltalk style
closures easily with continuations?
