I hope you get the idea from my ad hoc notation. Anyway, you see that
new continuations get allocated all the time, and each of them holds a
reference to a previous one so naive GC cannot free any of them.

Thank you for the elucidation.

Yet, the point in question appears to be that a _naive_ GC (or maybe a naive
implementation of continuations) prevents the continuations from being freed.

Does this conform to R5RS, and was it intended by the standard?
