The author of this tool is Chris Barker -- back in 2015, I took his course on
"Continuations and Natural Language" at the LSA. He's working on a lot of
really cool stuff, so its fun to see him pop up here. The class was a summary
of the research he had been doing at that time; the central idea was that some
constructions in natural language can interact with their own
continuations[0], dynamically changing their scope and arguments in much the
same way that continuations in e.g. Lisp work. Here is a paper where he
introduces the idea quite clearly:
