Sorry, I missed the IRC. It's probably already been discussed, but is
there any mileage in patching perl itself to support Coro? I don't know
the full details, but from the little I've seen, this is indeed
possible, if not desirable. It seems to a shame to lose such a powerful
module from the whole distribution.
