[plt-scheme] Serializable continuations?

I'd recommend that anyone interested in this issue read the ICFP05
paper, Continuations from Generalized Stack Inspection [1], that
discusses serializable continuations and talks about some of the
issues below.

I'm currently working on ways of getting many of the perceived
benefits of persistent continuations by a few avenues:
 - coarse grained continuation reconstruction
 - more intelligent continuation GC
 - more server support for binding instances to different servers

As this work matures, you will all come to know about it.
