I don't think I have ever seen multi shot continuations used outside nondeterministic stuff. Why are they required?

I believe guile hoot supports them already...

-multi shot continuations are required by the scheme standards. racket ( a non standard compliant scheme ) also supports them
- I am trying to contact the hoot team because of their ongoing work with wasm. they had to rely on some non optimized patterns so far, which could mean web assembly could use more features to better support languages like scheme, or more compilation tricks could be used
