A stray thought: does using a generator for the VM make life easier
for the Stackless Python developers in any way? Does it make it
possible for stock CPython to become stackless?
Dunno about that, but I do know that having stack effect info for the
bytecode could help with things like bytecode verification (without
having to define a bunch of magic constants that duplicate
information from the innards of ceval.c).
