I often see the phrase "coroutine" but
without explicit mention if symmetric
(greenlet) or asymmetric (Lua). 

Then when I hear myself quibbling
about "full generators" then I mean
generators that are made up of a few
functions that all can yield to the
caller of this generator. 

Question: is "full generators" equivalent
to "asymmetric coroutine"?  

Question 2: when people talk about
coroutines, is "asymmetric" the default
here? 

The reason that I ask is my fear to
create problems when answering to
messages with different default meanings
in mind. 

Thanks - chris
