Like try implementing Scheme > continuations as macros in CL. Doug Hoyte does it in Let Over Lambda. But even if we have here a case where things don't work out so well, one case won't break the efficacy of all other cases. > There's a theoretical paper by Felleisen about what really adds > expressive power to programming languages.
