As long as it's possible to implement 'yield from', it should be
possible to implement codef as well.

If nothing else, every call could expand into code that checks
for the presence of __cocall__ and then performs either a
normal call or a yield-from.

Another approach would be to compile all calls as

   yield from cowrap(func, args...)

where cowrap is defined something like

   def cowrap(func, *args, **kwds):
     if hasattr(func, '__cocall__'):
       return yield from func.__cocall__(*args, **kwds)
     else:
       return func(*args, **kwds)
