//:: A variant of continuations is the 'delimited' continuation that can be called like any other recipe.
//:
//: In mu, this is constructed out of two primitives:
//:
//:  * 'create-delimited-continuation' lays down a mark on the call
//:    stack and calls the provided function (it is sometimes called 'prompt')
//:  * 'reply-current-continuation' copies the top of the stack until the
//:    mark, and returns it as the response of create-delimited-continuation
//:    (which might be a distant ancestor on the call stack; intervening calls
//:    don't return)

//: The resulting slice of the stack can now be called just like a regular
