Hello.

The anonymous delegates in C# 2.0 seem to look a lot like closures, and
the "yield" statement in the Iterators looks a lot like a continuation.

Are there any changes to the bytecode that support continuations and
closures at a very low level in .Net?

Obviously, these two features are present in many languages, and their
support (or lack thereof) is often pointed to as to why .Net is bad for
such languages.

Best,
Oscar
