No, that wouldn't make sense. You should be implementing raise and
raise-continuable in terms of call-with-prompt, abort-to-prompt, and
fluids, just as catch and throw are implemented. See boot-9.scm, or
"Prompts" in the manual, or
http://wingolog.org/archives/2010/02/14/sidelong-glimpses, or ask me if
you have questions :-)
