 terminate or join on it (although you are allowed to), and you get a
 coroutine that might have executed other code already (which can be good
 or bad :).

+a completly new coroutine, so if you need a lot of generic coroutines in
 quick successsion, use C<async_pool>, not C<async>.
 The code block is executed in an C<eval> context and a warning will be
 issued in case of an exception instead of terminating the program, as
 C<async> does. As the coroutine is being reused, stuff like C<on_destroy>
 The priority will be reset to C<0> after each run, tracing will be
 disabled, the description will be reset and the default output filehandle
 gets restored, so you can change all these. Otherwise the coroutine will
 be re-used "as-is": most notably if you change other per-coroutine global

 If you are concerned about pooled coroutines growing a lot because a
 single C<async_pool> used a lot of stackspace you can e.g. C<async_pool
 { terminate }> once per second or so to slowly replenish the pool. In
 addition to that, when the stacks used by a handler grows larger than 16kb
 This makes C<schedule> I<the> generic method to use to block the current
 coroutine and wait for events: first you remember the current coroutine in
 a variable, then arrange for some callback of yours to call C<< ->ready
 >> on that once some event happens, and last you call C<schedule> to put
 yourself to sleep. Note that a lot of things can wake your coroutine up,
-so you need to check wether the event indeed happened, e.g. by storing the

 status in a variable.
 The canonical way to wait on external events is this:

 Kills/terminates/cancels all coroutines except the currently running
 one. This is useful after a fork, either in the child or the parent, as
 usually only one of them should inherit the running coroutines.
 Note that while this will try to free some of the main programs resources,
