Hmm.  Sounds tricky.  It'd be interesting to find time to take a detailed
look; after all, we're only talking about eight .c files and seven .h
files, I think. 

Is there any dialogue with Christian Tismer (the original author) on this
now?  He seems to have kept quite a detailed commentary on his ideas in
the heading to continuationmodule.c, so it may be possible to reconstruct
what's going on from there. 

Umm.  Well I for one need to go away and think about this, but let me end
with the following question for Python kernel experts: 

    	Is the idea of "Stackless Python" fundamentally sound?
