dynamic-wind




Here is code which I beleive implements the proposed DYNAMIC-WIND
procedre for any R4RS compliant Scheme.  Is this correct?  If so, I
will add it to SLIB.  Notice that it works for
call-with-current-continuation in <thunk2>.  I have tried to make it
consistent for <thunk1> and <thunk3> as well but I am not clear as to
what should happen in this case.

;This facility is a generalization of Common Lisp `unwind-protect',
;designed to take into account the fact that continuations produced by
;CALL-WITH-CURRENT-CONTINUATION may be reentered.

;  (dynamic-wind <thunk1> <thunk2> <thunk3>)		procedure

;The arguments <thunk1>, <thunk2>, and <thunk3> must all be procedures
;of no arguments (thunks).

;DYNAMIC-WIND calls <thunk1>, <thunk2>, and then <thunk3>.  The value
;returned of <thunk2> is returned as the result of DYNAMIC-WIND.
;<thunk3> is also called just before <thunk2> calls any continuations
;created by CALL-WITH-CURRENT-CONTINUATION.  If <thunk2> captures its
;continuation as an escape procedure, <thunk1> is invoked just before
;continuing that continuation.
