I still can't get my head round continuations - does anyone have a good ref?

All I've seen so far is either 'look, we can do goto' or
'look, here's Borges', which is a learning curve so steep it starts to

Few Borges specific links :

Eric's rubyconf stuff:

[ I got the impression that Borges is still a little leaky, though I haven't 
had the cohones to try it out much yet ]
