Not "Guile", "Guide". This is in the Racket Guide, first sentence of
10.3 (Continuations). The same phrase ("expression context") appears in
the Racket Reference, 1.1.1 (Evaluation Model / Sub-expression
Evaluation and Continuations). "Evaluation context" definitely resonates
more with those who understand the formal semantics, but I am not sure
it makes much difference to someone trying to learn from the more
informal Guide, which is vague about the evaluation model. --PR
