I'm finding Chris' paper on resumable expressions instead of compiler 
magic created resumable functions awfully compelling:

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/n4453.pdf

I essentially proposed the same with my functionally composed 
constexpr basic_future design some months ago.

Would anyone else like to comment on this library based instead of 
compiler based resumable execution? I'm not against some compiler 
support for resumable execution, but I am finding the await based 
proposal highly problematic, and Chris does an excellent job in 
summarising my own thoughts on what's wrong with it.
