thanks, that was a wonderful explanation.. 
But I'm a dumb guy and I stil don't grok the whole continuation thing.

It seem to me that continuation are actually empowered GOTO, am I
wrong?

The difference is that all the changes beetween the label and the goto
call get discarded (this fits with a previous declaration that
begin/rescue was just a subset of continuation)...

If I understood this thing right, won't continnuations add a *huge*
level of unpredictability to the code?

And, to use Continuations in ruby are we tracing whatever happens in
every forked way we step down  ?


PS
I think I'll love continuations since the previous post till the
eternity anyway. 
I loved "Back to the future*" , "Groundhog day ", and "Run, lola,
run".
And I played Zelda* for years :)
