If you look again, I think you'd find that Dylan feels a bit more like
Common Lisp than Scheme (not coincidentally, several of the original Dylan
designers worked at Symbolics before going to Apple).  Like CL, Dylan is
oriented towards providing high level operations (e.g. OO programming)
rather than specifying low-level mechanisms (e.g. continuations).
