Also, a trampoline is a very different thing in the contexts I'm used to. Typically it's a bit of executable object code generated on the fly to bridge something. The most obvious examples are: trampolines used in signal handling on Unix systems, the trampolines generated by GCC for local functions (closures of dynamic extent), and trampolines used in schedulers to switch tasks on CPU.

The loop-over-calling-the-current-continuation concept... kinda fits that description of "trampoline".
