Yep. My mistake.

Yeah, that's pretty. But that will bite people who don't understand
continuations; it will bite people who don't understand "return"; it
will even bite people who understand continuations, because they can
be made in such an awkward form so easily.
Currently call/cc is done like this:
sub call_with_current_continuation(&code) {
&code(&?CALLER_CONTINUATION);
}
But that might be broken in pugs at the moment.
