summary:

Fix mistakes on function coroutines related definitions (GH-9871)



Fix a bug I introduced in #9864 by which coroutines are treated as synonymous of function coroutines.

Also, fix the same mistake (coroutines == function coroutines) already present in other parts of the reference.

I'm very sorry for the hassle.
