Can section 4.7 (" Handling Yields in C") of the manual explicitly say
that lua_callk / lua_pcallk will return instead of calling the
continuation if the called function doesn't yield?

Being used to CPS[0], I assumed that the continuation function is always
called, so seeing " return k(L, lua_pcallk(L, n, m, h, ctx2, k), ctx1);"
in the example confused me.

After reading the [1] thread I understand why that's the case, but it
would be nice if the manual made the behavior more obvious.
