Exec summary: first class continuations are the only powerful metamechanism which hasn't made it into Lua, unlike in its sibling Scheme. I've always been slightly surprised that they didn't, as they fit quite well into Lua's spirit of empowering through very generic metamechanisms. I'd guess they reasons why they didn't are largely historical (?)
