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.
