Hi, I don't think I can reply on the GSOC site, so I'll put it here

I left it out because I have never used continuations. I'm confident I
will finish the entire standard library but the best laid plans of
mice and men and all that

It's all the same to me

Yes

Well I can tell you now I don't want to write it by hand. If my TDOP
parser bears out, I'll probably use that, otherwise I'll be looking
into parse-lalr etcetera. I'm also excited about PEG but it may not be
ready in time :)
