Please tell me I'm missing something, but I don't think
this will really help.  The problem is that I need to "yield"
or "suspend" or "send something across a channel" from about
45 places in the code some of which are arbitrarily deep into
multiple recursions.  The generator thing will only allow
me to go one level deep into a single call -- no?  By contrast
the stackless.channel mechanism is a far more general construct,
allowing me to "yield" at any point without restructuring the
code at all.  Stackless rules.
