Coroutine2 provides only boost::coroutines2::asymmetric_coroutine<>
(boost::coroutines2::coroutine<> is a typedef of the previous one).
Symmetric_coroutine<> (introduced for boost.fiber) is not implemented
because its functionality/semantic is better represented by class
boost::context::execution_context (part of boost.context).
Class execution_context is used as building block (implementation) of
boost::coroutines2::asymmetric_coroutine<> - the code becomes cleaner.
