All of this debate is moot without the foundation of a common library on which we would be building these coroutines. Any proposal of a specific coroutine syntax is worthless without a time and community tested coroutine implementation, which would be subject to the same rigerous inclusion requirements as any other 3rd party library. Only then, some time in the future, would any argument about a specific syntax be worth real consideration.

Function g violates the current limitation that generators can't return with a value. So can g only be used using "yield *" then, or would that limitation be removed? The limitation would be removed, in the interests of making it easier to use generators as coroutines. -- Greg
