 C<async> does. As the coro is being reused, stuff like C<on_destroy>
 will not work in the expected way, unless you call terminate or cancel,
 which somehow defeats the purpose of pooling (but is fine in the
 exceptional case).

 The idle pool size is limited to C<8> idle coros (this can be
 adjusted by changing $Coro::POOL_SIZE), but there can be as many non-idle
 coros as required.

 Another interesting example implements time-sliced multitasking using
 interval timers (this could obviously be optimised, but does the job):
 =item $state->is_new
 Returns true iff this Coro object is "new", i.e. has never been run
 yet. Those states basically consist of only the code reference to call and
 the arguments, but consumes very little other resources. New states will

 This is a rather brutal way to free a coro, with some limitations - if
 the thread is inside a C callback that doesn't expect to be canceled,
 context and can block if they wish. The downside is that there is no
 guarantee that the thread can be cancelled when you call this method, and
 therefore, it might fail. It is also considerably slower than C<cancel> or
 C<terminate>.

 This call returns true when it could cancel the thread, or croaks with an
 It is very common for a coro to wait for some callback to be
 called. This occurs naturally when you use coro in an otherwise
 event-based program, or when you use event-based libraries.
 These typically register a callback for some event, and call that callback
-when the event occured. In a coro, however, you typically want to

 just wait for the event, simplyifying things.
 For example C<< AnyEvent->child >> registers a callback to be called when
 a specific child has exited:
 processes. What makes it so bad is that on non-windows platforms, you can
 actually take advantage of custom hardware for this purpose (as evidenced
 by the forks module, which gives you the (i-) threads API, just much
 faster).

+Sharing data is in the i-threads model is done by transferring data
 structures between threads using copying semantics, which is very slow -
 shared data simply does not exist. Benchmarks using i-threads which are
 communication-intensive show extremely bad behaviour with i-threads (in
 fact, so bad that Coro, which cannot take direct advantage of multiple
 CPUs, is often orders of magnitude faster because it shares data using
