;; contract of what its handler will do on an abort. In the case of the default
;; prompt tag, we could choose to return values, exit nonlocally, or punt to the
;; user.
;;
;; We choose the latter, by requiring that the user return one value, a
;; procedure, to an abort to the prompt tag. That argument is then invoked with
;; the continuation as an argument, within a reinstated default prompt. In this
;; way the return value(s) from a default prompt are under the user's control.
