Coroutines vs generators

Coroutines have a completely separate stack which is saved when they yield,
so you have a load of nested function calls and yield from deep in the
middle of them.

Generators save only a single stack frame, so all yields must come directly
from the generator, not from functions which it calls.

You can use generators to get a similar effect to coroutines by nesting
generators and propogating the yields back up the chain, but this has to be
done explicitly at every level.
