It allows you to execute a protected call to functions that yield from within. So if you have function f that uses a coroutine or is used by one, you can call

copcall(f)

and if f yields or calls someone that yields there is no problem.

The usual "pattern of use" is:

----------------
require"coxpcall"

pcall = copcall
xpcall = coxpcall

-- from here you can use pcall and xpcall at will
...
