Dr. Flatt, is *your* compiler any good?

So, what you're saying is that at any time that I need a particular
environment, I can resurrect it with a data structure, be that a
struct, hash, anything else?  To get into details, how do programmers
usually do this (which data structure)?  How is this different or any
better than invoking the continuation of the original definition?

Thanks,
Joel
