Yeah, if we can get Greg's original optimised behaviour while still
supporting introspection properly, that's really where we want to be.
That's the main reason I'm a fan of Mark's other patches moving more
of the generator state from the frame objects out into the generator
objects - my suspicion is that generator objects themselves need to be
maintaining a full "generator stack" independent of the frame stack in
the main eval loop in order to get the best of both worlds (i.e.
optimised suspend/resume with confusing debuggers).

Cheers,
Nick.
