Continuation passing style (whether with genuine continuations, or
using some sort of structure that captures "just enough" to backtrack)
is useful in search problems where you want to be able to *backtrack*.
As to coding patterns that make this easier, I'll think you'll need to
specify a bit more of what you're looking for.  Often times it
actually means having your procedures take an extra argument or two
(continue and restart).
