True. What I should have said is that Guido *believes*
the outcome would be too convoluted. Christian's original
Stackless implementation certainly was, and to my
knowledge nobody has ever suggested a way to do better.

If someone could come up with a plan for a stackless
interpreter that was just as straightforward as the
existing one, that would be worth considering. But I
won't be holding my breath.
