If I understand, the cofunctions of this thread aren't coroutines as
such, they are something intended to make writing coroutines easier in
some way. My problem is that it's not at all obvious how they help.
That's partly because the generator+trampoline idiom, although
possible, is not at all common so that there's little in the way of
examples, and even less in the way of common understanding, of how the
idiom works and what problems there are putting it into practice.
