  I think it's a mistake to assume a coroutine can be treated like a thread. 
In Lua, there is no concept of a "parent/child coroutine."  If you want such
a concept, you'll have to wrap the coroutine routines to enforce this
"parent/child" concept.  In none of the codebases where I've used tons of
coroutines have I felt the need for a "parent/child" relationship.

  I think coroutines are lighter than threads, so at this point, I wouldn't
worry too much about it.
