One thing I'll say is that I think the coroutine decorator should convert
something like:

    @coroutine
    def blah():
        return "result"

into the generator equivalent. You can do a syntax hack with:

    @coroutine
    def blah():
        if 0: yield
        return "result"

but that feels bad. This sort of bug may seem unlikely, but a user may hit
it if they're commenting out code,

Maybe a generic @force_generator decorator might be useful...
