Not at all: "Continuation Passing Style". You "pass" the "continuation" into
a function call. It's a little bit like transforming the instruction: "Write
this report and return it to me, and I will return it to the customer"
to "Here is the customer's name -- write the report and return it to her."
You can see how the latter would be more efficient when you can pull it off.
