The continuation model still looks best to me. One can create screw cases
for either version, so I'm inclined to favor the solution that provides a
cleaner and more intuitive model of what is going on. For me,
continuation seems much simpler and clearer than "throw commits". Some
systems may choose to provide a way of breaking out of the kind of trap
that people have described here; I think that is an environment issue.
