I think it more than using a ratchet instead of an open wrench to loose
the nut. Same result, different way to do it.
Of course a really tight nut may require a long wrench and break the
ratchet... i.e. not necessarily coroutines are the solution.
The solution I proposed does not make coroutines obligatory. If you
don't want to use them in a particular tool, just don't call any
Wait()/Yield() methods. TOOL_INTERACTIVE constructor could have an
additional parameter that prevents creating an unnecessary stack frame
for coroutine-less tools.
As a way to maintain the tool state machine (fed by events), they seem
appropriate to me; of course everyone will propose his own 'best' idea
(heck, no women here:P)
Look at the PDF I put on ohwr.org - one can use coroutines, function
pointers or enum+switch for the FSMs, depending on his/her coding
habits. Nothing is forbidden.
