Problem is, it would in most situations, also I'm trying to keep the number
of generators to a minimum whilst a lower overhead than things like threads
and processes if I had several 10s of thousands going, keeping throughput
up may become an issue. (Hence the reason for wanting the functions called
part of the same generator rather than a separate, extra one)

Ah... that makes sense then...Pity - after all, "all you'd need" (looking at
it
simplistically) is a marker in the stack frame to tell the system how much
of the
stack to save. Amiga E had something very similar (from a use perspective)
for
determining how far back to throw exceptions without requiring the
equivalent
of try/(except|catch) blocks.

Thanks!
