Very nice!  I'm flattered to be credited in the coroutines section!

I think it should be noted that my yield patch was based on some
advice from Bret Mogilefsky, in an email he sent to the Lua mailing
list on 8 Sep 1997.  I found his original message here:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/1997-09/msg00004.html, and then a
more explicit roadmap here:
