I'm curious what you actually want to have full call/cc for - except as 
a "check-off (completeness) item.

Make up your mind :  Do you want complete Scheme?  If so you can't have 
strings in Kawa be strings in Java,
because the latter as immutable.

However, Kawa does automatically and conveniently convert from Scheme 
strings to Java strings.
That's the best you can get if you want Scheme strings to be modifiable.

Kawa has a nice builtin CLOS-ish object system - but but it does need 
work!  The design is
quite nice, though.
