Trying to think of a better usage example that

Can anyone point me to any? Maybe it will help
to inspire a better example.
Er, well, I don't know what anybody *else* wanted them for, but I
wanted them to implement improved trampoline functions, vs. earlier
Python versions. ;-)
The trampoline example I gave uses send() in order to pass the return
values from one generator back into another. Of course, the task
object also has a send(), so if you do find another use case for
send() in a co-operative context, it should be equally doable with
the trampoline.
