We too! Why don't you try to implement your idea?

(Unlike proposals to change the language itself, which are allways
subject to taste, proposals to change the implementation are usually
easy to judge, once we have the new implementation to compare with
the old. So, the best argument to convince us of such changes is a
well-implemented working prototype.)

This is not difficult to implement in Lua. Create coroutines with a body
that is a big loop that receive a function, run it to completion, and
repeat.
