Subject: Why there is no Continuation.new ?

Hi gurus and nubys,

I'm trying to get a grip on continuations.
I can understand why we have 
callcc &block

Reading some stuff on continuations from scheme's documentation this
is quite clear.

Btw, I wonder what's wrong with a more rubyish way to use
continuations.
the sample from ri :

 arr = [ "Freddie", "Herbie", "Ron", "Max", "Ringo" ]
 callcc{|$cc|}
 puts(message = arr.shift)
 $cc.call unless message =~ /Max/

To me this seem crying to become:
 arr = [ "Freddie", "Herbie", "Ron", "Max", "Ringo" ]
 cc= Continuation.new # optional &blk 
 puts(message = arr.shift)
 cc.call unless message =~ /Max/


probably I'm just dumb and I can't really get Continuations..
