1. Could you say what is your pedagogic philosophy behind this text. I know
    it and I appreciate it. For whom has it been written?

2. A general question for ALL of you. This year I have been  finally forced not
    just to teach what I liked, just *using* Scheme, but to teach Scheme...

    Do you think that for CompSci freshmen - the continuations are to be taught,
    or it turned out *practically* that this is an overkill? (If you have *any
    experimental* doubts, I know what to do, since for serious reasons I must be
    minimalist, first-year students in France are very fragile and randomly-
    oriented, since they had never any admittance exam to pass)

The problem is that I adore continuations!!

Perhaps speak a little bit about CPS, but skip the 1st class continuations
altogether?


May call/cc be with you.
