22		22
		23	This module collection manages coroutines. Coroutines are similar to
		24	threads but don't run in parallel.
		25
		26	In this module, coroutines are defined as "callchain + lexical variables
		27	+ @_ + $_ + $@ + $^W + C stack), that is, a coroutine has it's own
		28	callchain, it's own set of lexicals and it's own set of perl's most
		29	important global variables.

		364	- you must make very sure that no coro is still active on global

		366
		367	- this module is not thread-safe. You should only ever use this module
		368	from the same thread (this requirement might be losened in the future
		369	to allow per-thread schedulers, but Coro::State does not yet allow
