Wrote a toy implementation of asynchronous programming using
continuations.

Continuations can be used to implement

They truly are the universal control construct!

I implemented them in GXScript <https://bitbucket.org/ldo17/gxscript/>,
which is my attempt to create a more modern PostScript derivative (sans
the graphics API), with proper lexical binding and some conveniences to
try to make stack-based programming a little less error-prone.
