3986 - bring back delimited continuations
They're back after a long hiatus: commit 2295 in Oct 2015. I'm not convinced anymore that this is actually a correct implementation of continuations. Issues on at least two fronts: a) These aren't safe yet. Since continuations can be called multiple times, we need to disable reclamation of locals inside a continuation. There may be other type- or memory-safety issues. However, delimited continuations at least seem possible to make safe. Undelimited continuations (call/cc) though are permanently out. b) They may not actually be as powerful as delimited continuations. Let's see if I can build 'yield' out of these primitives.
