Conditional Jump: Another Control Flow Construct to Rule Them All

  Not another, pretty much the same. If you add to "goto" the required stuff to play nice with closures, you get a continuation.

    Was that Functional Completeness not obvious in my joke? Except that in this case, they're not quite as equivalent as NAND / NOR are — continuations assume a lot more "required stuff" (as you put it) than just a basic memory space, a means to test values, and the ability to set the program counter.

      That is if you approach the requirements from the implementation point of view. In theory continuations aren't really that much more complex than Gotos.
