We do not provide power tools for stack manipulation, co-routines,
continuations, subcomputations, f-operators, ... Seaside is a web
framework and it should concentrate on the web framework things only.

We do not even mention continuations on the website. I believe this to
be vital for Seaside, because continuations are just an implementation
detail and considered to be scary and incomprehensible by the majority
of people.

Now, if there are bugs in our specific continuation implementation
these should be obviously fixed in place. Please do not create a
continuation framework that can be reconfigured to solve all possible
problems of the world as well.
