Formal Comment ticket #431 filed.

The reference to `raise-continuable` here appears to be an editorial
error.  On the second ballot, the WG adopted the R6RS version of `guard`,
which specifies `raise` rather than `raise-continuable`.  I have fixed
this on trunk.

> Also, the original call might have been raise or raise-continuable.

Also changed on trunk.

I am therefore closing this ticket.  If you think there is more to do
here, let me know.
