I was thinking about this (roughly) in the shower this morning before
seeing this message.

One difference is that a Channel or zero-storage Queue lets the putter
continue execution after the put (or at least the other side's get). A
co-routine won't proceed until later, no? So a co-routine setup will do
lazier computation than a similar threaded setup.
