we should rename Parrot's Hash class to AssociativePMCArray? 1/2 ;-)
I wouldn't mind. I mean, various languages

It's also a little unique that the take/yield can happen from called
subs deep within the coroutine, and doesn't have to occur within
the coroutine itself.
That's a general characteristic of all the control exceptions: they can
be caught by any outer dynamic scope,

What's the language-agnostic term for this, then?
Well, 'gather' is basically a clever use of a coroutine, and 'take' is
basically a 'yield'. But, what's unique about the construct is that it
aggregates the results. So, 'gather' is an aggregating coroutine and

Aggregating coroutine and aggregating yield aren't nearly as zippy

audience, which may help the feature spread.
I don't buy this. The Perl 6 terms are well

TAKE is like CONTROL_RETURN except that it signals that we expect
execution to continue after the point of the TAKE. It's quite
similar to a .yield operation for coroutines.
