Oh I am sorry. You are right.
Yes I didn't define coroutines and generators.
These are well understood concepts, and the audience was supposed
to have an idea about that. The real problem appeared to be
continuations, and I tried to show that they are even much
simpler, and explained them by building a generator from them.
Sorry, I mixed words, and I admit that I'm much too deep
in this stuff to see other than my problems :-)
Time to write a very introductional text, I think.
cheers - chris
