Well, if it were my design, I would make coroutine non-copyable
and simply forget about all the related troubles of copy semantics.
Furthermore, I would entirely avoid the use of dynamically allocated
resources and a coroutine allocator.

But, of course, I am predominantly interested in using coroutine
in embedded systems that lack a heap and benefit from the predictability
of statically allocated resources. As you already mentioned
in various communications, though, we can work on a lightweight
embedded version in the future.

Whatever you do, keep up the good work!
