Do you (or anyone else) have any information on how tail

With all due respect to present company, perhaps it's due
to the fact that continuations are not that well known.
TRY covers some of the common uses, but there are still
interesting applications (I think of things like Rugby...)
Again, just for my own edification, I'd really appreciate
anything anyone has on how that was done/appeared in 1.x.
