It's not enough to convert to CPS, you have to be able to actually
save the continuation when you switch to another one, so you can go
back to the first one later.  Maybe I'm missing something but I just
don't see how to do that in the Lisp execution model.  I guess you
could write an interpreter in Lisp that simulates it all, but it might
as well be a Python interpreter ;-).
