Yes, thank you. I was thinking of Kent Pitman's critique that unwind-protect didn't have the right semantics when implemented with dynamic-wind, and that (in general) it seemed like fluid-let and unwind-protect wanted different sorts of continuations to implement them. (And now I need to go read more about one-shot vs multi and delimited continuations.)
Someone (I forget who) had a critique about dynamic-wind itself that (IIRC) involved capturing continuations from within the before- and after-thunks of dynamic-wind, but that seems more like an edge case.
