Also note that yield semantics as available in various
languages is much different from what you are proposing here.
Not really. Yield is usually a break in flow, regardless just
because it's applied to fibers doesn't mean it's *much*
different. It's the same basic concept.
Across various programming languages, yield has two very
different meanings and aims:
1) to achieve cooperative multitasking (as in D fibers); but you
are not doing cooperative multitasking;
2) for generator functions (like in Python); but you don't have a
function that generates multiple values.
Also note that in both cases the yielding does not depend on some
syntax used at call site.
So, by any PL meaning of yield, yield is not what you need to
solve your problem.
