Ok... not sure if a fully grasp all the implication of this, but thanks 
for the explanation :)

But still... how does one use pcall() with coroutines then?

If one cannot use pcall() in a coroutine, this drastic reduce the 
benefit of having coroutine and pcall() in the first place. Under that 
scenario, Lua seems to amount to rather less than the sum of its parts 
:/

Right now, I'm blindly monkeying what "coxpcall" does [1], even though 
I'm not quite understanding what it does in the first place and why :(

Sigh...
