Ah, I think it's what you get if you assume that your language has
callcc but no exceptions, and explicitly implement exceptions on top
of callcc.  At every call you would pass an extra argument, which is
the continuation to switch to in case of an exception.  It usually
just comes from the parent, but is changed in situations where we'd do
a "try:".  I need to check that (theoretically) doing this would give
the exact same behavior as what I'm writing right now to support
(real) exceptions with continuations.


A bientôt,

Armin.
