It's usable by strictly nested functions, but a multi-call SRF is more
like a coroutine.

No, the second arrival would get a SPI_ERROR_CONNECT failure from
SPI_connect when there's already an open connection. For the nested-
calls case you can prevent that with SPI_push/SPI_pop around a call that
might wish to use SPI, but that fix doesn't work in a coroutine situation.
