I just looked at the web page and also attended your talk at BoostCon.

Very intriguing piece of work.

A couple of observations:

a) The web link permits one to download a zip file.  But it would
be handy for more casually interested observers to be able
to browse the documentation right on the site.

b) I'm thinking that this contains a "hand rolled" co-routine
library.  We brought up this before.  I've used the co-routine
library submitted to boost and found it very well documented
and useful.  It's a shame that this hasn't been reviewed
and included in boost.  The "hand rolled" versions of
existing libraries is something that I'm not a fan of.

Your library is very interesting but this will come
up as a serious issue if it's reviewed.
