Good. I have a small collection of wheels I've reinvented in my ignorance.

So, congratulations, you've written call/cc in Haskell. I think. So, what I said this afternoon, namely, that call/cc is "not something an implementation is likely to be able to support unintentionally", I now have to retract. I think.

Well, I have to create my own monad and do call/cc in that. Doing call/cc in IO is another matter entirely.

I guess the call/cc you wrote last night in terms of catch and a ref didn't work too well; huh?

I havent't tested it. But I agree that it certainly won't allow continuations to survive after peirceM has returned, so can't be considered proper call/cc. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA
