Actually coroutines mesh extremely well with event-based programming.
Instead of a chain of event handlers you just write straight-line code.
The central event loop just resumes the relevant coroutines according to
the events that arrive. You can probably even use a coroutine-oblivious
core if you use coroutine.wrap.
