BTW, for instance, in our framework each coroutine is a special
object that wraps generator/plain function.  It controls everything
that the underlying generator/function yields/returns.  But the actual
execution, propagation of returned values and raised errors is the
scheduler's job.  So when you are yielding a coroutine from another 
coroutine, frames are not even connected to each other, since the 
actual execution of the callee will be performed by the scheduler.  
It's not like a regular python call.

For us, having 'f_in_finally' somehow propagated would be completely 
useless.

I think even if it's decided to implement just your proposal, I feel
that 'f_in_finally' should indicate the state of only its *own* frame.
