-2.     Here's another implementation of the same-fringe function, in Scheme. It's taken from <http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?SameFringeProblem>. It uses thunks to delay the evaluation of code that computes the tail of a list of a tree's fringe. It also involves passing continuations as arguments. Your assignment is to fill in the blanks in the code, and also to supply comments to the code, to explain what every significant piece is doing.

Don't forget to supply the comments, this is an important part of the assignment.
