@title{Additional Control Operators}

@(define control-eval
         (let ([the-eval (make-base-eval)])
          (the-eval '(require racket/control))
          the-eval))

The @racket[racket/control] library provides various control operators
from the research literature on higher-order control operators, plus a
few extra convenience forms. These control operators are implemented
in terms of @racket[call-with-continuation-prompt],
@racket[call-with-composable-continuation], @|etc|, and they generally
work sensibly together. Many are redundant; for example,
@racket[reset] and @racket[prompt] are aliases.

          [arg any/c] ...)

The @racket[call/prompt] binding is an alias for @racket[call-with-continuation-prompt].

@defproc[(abort [v any/c] ...) any]{

Returns the @racket[v]s to a prompt using the default continuation
prompt tag and the default abort handler.

That is, @racket[(abort v ...)] is equivalent to

@racketblock[
(abort-current-continuation
 (default-continuation-prompt-tag)
 (lambda () (values v ...)))
]

Sitaram's operators @cite["Sitaram93"].

The essential reduction rules are:

@racketblock[

(% _E[(fcontrol _val)] _proc) => (_proc _val (lambda (_x) _E[_x]))
  (code:comment @#,t{where @racket[_E] has no @racket[%]})
]

When @racket[handler-expr] is omitted, @racket[%] is the same as 
@racket[prompt]. If @racket[prompt-tag] is provided, @racket[%]
uses specific prompt tags like @racket[prompt-at].

Danvy and Filinski's operators @cite["Danvy90"].

@defform[(reset0 expr ...+)]
@defform[(control0 id expr ...+)]

Generalizations of @racket[prompt], @|etc| @cite["Shan04"].

The essential reduction rules are:

@racketblock[
(prompt0 _val) => _val
(prompt0 _E[(control0 _k _expr)]) => ((lambda (_k) _expr)
                                      (lambda (_v) _E[_v]))
(reset0 _val) => _val
(reset0 _E[(shift0 _k _expr)]) => ((lambda (_k) _expr)
                                   (lambda (_v) (reset0 _E[_v])))
]

The @racket[reset0] and @racket[prompt0] forms are interchangeable.
Furthermore, the following reductions apply:

@racketblock[
(prompt _E[(control0 _k _expr)]) => (prompt ((lambda (_k) _expr)
                                             (lambda (_v) _E[_v])))
(reset _E[(shift0 _k _expr)]) => (reset ((lambda (_k) _expr)
                                         (lambda (_v) (reset0 _E[_v]))))
(prompt0 _E[(control _k _expr)]) => (prompt0 ((lambda (_k) expr)
                                              (lambda (_v) _E[_v])))
(reset0 _E[(shift _k _expr)]) => (reset0 ((lambda (_k) expr)
                                          (lambda (_v) (reset _E[_v]))))
]

That is, both the @racket[prompt]/@racket[reset] and
@racket[control]/@racket[shift] sites must agree for @racket[0]-like
behavior, otherwise the non-@racket[0] behavior applies.}
