   <programming> (CPS) A style of programming in which every user
   function f takes an extra argument c known as a continuation.
   Whenever f would normally return a result r to its caller, it
   instead returns the result of applying the continuation to r.
   The continuation thus represents the whole of the rest of the
   computation.  Some examples:

    normal (direct style)    -->	continuation passing
