No, I've already provided boost.coroutine2 - that's why boost.context was
deprecated. Unfortunately we can't remove it form the boost collection
because boost.asio has a dependency to boost.coroutine.
The coroutine libraries are too much heavyweight for the purpose of spawn()
(for instance push_type and pull_type etc.).
boost.spawn uses boost.context's fiber directly - without the boilerplate
code required by coroutine libs (take a look at boost/spawn/impl/spawn.hpp).
