Hi all, I've been moving some libraries from mzlib to more appropriate places recently. I was meaning to move `mzlib/thread` to `racket/coroutine`, but had some questions about its API.
It appears that the coroutines from `mzlib/thread` don't actually provide a built-in way to yield the computation to another coroutine. Instead, the coroutine is run with either a timeout or an event that suspends the computation and returns to the caller. Is this a useful coroutine API? It seems that to encode the typical `yield` construct you need to set up your own protocol with, say, a channel to trigger a context switch and then do scheduling manually. If we're going to bother providing it as a `racket` library, should we try to improve the API? NB: the only use I could find in the code base was in framework/private/color.rkt.
