Gordon,

Thanks for channeling Christian, if that's what writing a PEP on this entails :-).

I am also a little puzzled about the subject of the PEP. I think you should hash it out with Barry "PEPmeister" Warsaw. There are two different issues -- the stackless implementation and the new control structure exposed to programmers (e.g. continuations, coroutines, iterators, generators, etc.). It seems plausible to address these in two different PEPs, possibly in competing PEPs (e.g. coroutines vs. continuations).
