I tried to write some code that did CPS-like stuff in C.  
The important line was

  while(( p= (*((void *(*)()) p))()));

Having written this line, I was exhausted and never finished the rest
of the portable Scheme-to-C compiler this was supposed to become.

This should perhaps be called Continuation Returning Style.

As is frequently the case with C, you have to cast everything to
void * to work around the truly deficient type language.
