I'm not sure I see the difference between suspend/do and
yield True/for _ in co: pass, other than possibly that
co-operators and generators are intended to be mixed (which
strikes me as implausible).

I'm likely to be missing something here, but I don't follow
the semantics you are suggesting.

If there was a simple, realistic use case for this, it might
help clarify the semantics. (For extra credit, mix co-operators
and generators in your use case so that the semantics of
interaction are shown as well :-))

Paul.
