 * that execute immediately, but have a lower overhead and scheduling them
 * is wait-free, thread-safe and signal-safe.
 *
 * It is sometimes useful to put a whole program in a coroutine.  In this
 * case, the coroutine actually should be started from within the main loop,
 * so that the main loop can run whenever the coroutine yields.  To do this,
 * you can use a bottom half to enter the coroutine as soon as the main loop
 * starts:

 * also has the side effect of recalculating the sets of file descriptors
