Welp, figured everything out by reading some c++ docs.
Thank you so much for the awesome libraries, I think I've never used such a complete and powerful set of libraries, before.

Coroutine forking does not create a copy of the process like with POSIX forks (=> another shared pointer pointing to the same object); does it clone the coroutine object, along with all its properties?
