That's not exactly fair, given that you used words of more than three
syllables in your question. However, if the question is "What do I need
to know about continuations for the Parrot VM to support languages that
have them?", I may be able to answer with one-syllable words:
"If the V M can get rid of tail calls, folks can do the rest. Folks,
yell if I'm wrong."
