cothreads
userspace threads
Cothreads are a simple user-space method for switching between
subtasks. They're based on setjmp()/longjmp() in their current form.
Cothreads are used for loop-based elements that pull data instead
of being fed with data. They can also be used to pull a specific region
of data out of their src element.
