There will be a new statement:

suspend [...] do anothercoop() would be equivalent to co = anothercoop() while co.run(): suspend

I'm not sure I see the difference between suspend/do and yield True/for _ in co: pass, other than possibly that co-operators and generators are intended to be mixed (which strikes me as implausible).

I'm likely to be missing something here, but I don't follow the semantics you are suggesting.

If there was a simple, realistic use case for this, it might help clarify the semantics. (For extra credit, mix co-operators and generators in your use case so that the semantics of interaction are shown as well :-))

Paul.
