... and also justifying every complaint of Common Lisp programmers  
about Scheme. The current use of CPS transformers in Common Lisp web  
application frameworks *ought* to be taken as a damning indictment (of  
what or whom, I'm not quite sure). Programmers are searching for  
Scheme and reinventing it on top of Common Lisp. Why is that?
