Smalltalk has information hiding and continuations.  I can't see
why continuations in Smalltalk interfere with information hiding
in any way.  Smalltalk continuations are not as powerful as
Scheme continuations because a closure can only return once,
but this doesn't make any practical difference in either implementing
them or using them.  Thus, I don't think that continations
interfere with information hiding.
