As I wrote in the docu a tasklet is associated with a fiber. The 
difference between a fiber and a coroutine is that the coroutine can be 
seen as a language-level construct while a fiber is a system-level 
construct (fibers are conceptualy equivalent to coroutines).
boost.tasklet provides an scheduler interface and comes with a 
round-robin scheduler (priority scheduler is planed).
