Hi @tonyfreeman, Sorry to abuse a PR this way but it's the only way I could find to get in touch. I was wondering about the suitability of this code for something I'm working on. It's a little language interpreter written in "trampolined continuation-passing style.” The key point is that the interpreter's user gets control back after each unit of work. CPS can be awkward, and it would be much cleaner to intersperse `yield`s in a regular eager recursive interpreter implementation, run as a fiber, and just keep poking the fiber to move to the next step. But the examples I see here don't make it clear whether I can build such a structure. `Channel` looks kind of close; I wonder if you can offer any insight? Thanks!

To further clarify, I am not interested in getting any actual parallelism. Nothing really needs to be asynchronous in my application. I just need the ability to, essentially, suspend and resume execution of a stack of function calls. |
