; Procedures and closures are two different abstractions. Procedures
; are created by LAMBDA and invoked with procedure call; those are
; their only defined operations. Closures are made with MAKE-CLOSURE,
; accessed using CLOSURE-TEMPLATE and CLOSURE-ENV, and invoked by
; INVOKE-CLOSURE, which starts the virtual machine going.
; In a running Scheme 48 system, the two happen to be implemented
; using the same data type. The following is the only part of the
; system that should know this fact.

; Similarly, there are escapes and there are VM continuations.
; Escapes are obtained with PRIMITIVE-CWCC and invoked with
; WITH-CONTINUATION. VM continuations are obtained with
; PRIMITIVE-CATCH and inspected using CONTINUATION-REF and friends.
; (This is not such a hot naming strategy; it would perhaps be better
; to use the terms "continuation" and "frame".)
