If you aren't interested in supporting call/cc or other control-transfer constructs like exceptions it might be easier to just use ANF.

See Kennedy's "Compiling with Continuations, Continued" for another perspective on the ANF/CPS choice: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/akenn/sml/Comp...


Awesome, I'm deep into Lisp in Small Pieces and at times have found it assumes a bit too much of the reader.


This is the kind of thing that I would put in the "hacker" subhn.
