You don't even need symmetric coroutines; asymmetric coroutines model
that just fine -- see:
https://github.com/boostorg/coroutine/blob/master/example/cpp03/asymmetric/chaining.cpp

A coroutine implementation of pipelines becomes syntactic sugar, a
facile way to construct a chain that you can already build (admittedly
somewhat verbosely).
