Has anyone considered developing/submitting a coroutine library for
boost? I've been developing C/C++ for years, and only just discovered
how incredibly useful userspace single-threaded multitasking is, if
you want to avoid the huge overhead of POSIX threads, and don't mind
having to explicitly yield to other threads in your code (indeed, this
makes the issues of concurrency and synchronization between threads
just much simpler).

I've written a wrapper around PCL
(http://www.xmailserver.org/libpcl.html) and have since found it to be
at least as useful as many of the other boost libraries in my last few
projects, in particular in a select-driven single-thread socket server
which i am working on now.
