This smells an awful lot like the sawampersand hack of early Perl, which I now thoroughly regret. We should do all we can to avoid such "global magical pessimization at a distance". If you put something like this into Parrot, you will have people hunting down the authors of modules that use Continuations and doing nasty things to them. This is healthy neither for the community, nor for the authors in question... It would be lovely to find some way of punishing the guilty without punishing the innocent along with them. Larry
