   R5RS and R6RS's continuations are not generally useful for making
   abstractions that compose well together.  I would not recommend them to
   anyone.

Are you saying Guile 2.0 breaks code that uses these traditional
continuations (successfully, in previous Guile versions)?  I think
the OP example should be in NEWS, if so, to avoid a surprise.
