Continuation support is the only major class intentionally missing. As 
far as general features go, the other big one is that we don't support 
C-based extensions, but usually there's a Java library that does just as 
well. Just about everything else should be there. If it's missing, we 
want to add it. If it's not working correctly, we want to fix it.
