> IIRC, last time I looked, arnesi cannot handle UNWIND-PROTECT or EVAL-WHEN -- for obvious reasons.  Iterate has a code walker that is as good as a portable code walker can go (portable in the ANSI CL glossary meaning).

please note that arnesi has two things: a generic code walker (with
support for platform independent access to platform specific
environments) and using this it has a CPS transformer for delimited
continuations (the with-call/cc stuff).

the latter naturally has the usual questions connected to call/cc but
the former should be trivially extended to support everything needed.
but yes, it's not a usable solution out of the box.

btw, these functionalities should be factored out into separate libs,
TODO entry 1243141... :)

but my knowledge is not crystal clear about these things, so take it
with a grain of salt...
