Re: call/cc?

Per,

  Thanks for the quick reply. As you probably already know, although it is not necessarily used all that often, call/cc is one of those things that is occasionally essential. I suspect that some people (such as myself) will simply ignore implementations that don't have it. Consequently you might not see people clamoring for it on your mailing list simply because the people who would need it aren't using Kawa at all.

Yes there is. I have the basic design done, and some of the code is
written. (I've recently made some changes in area.) However, I don't
know when there will actually be something working. There are detail
decisons, like how to map "frame objects" to classes. When it gets done
depends on my time and how much demand there is for full call/cc.
