yield return based on Coroutines

[Attila Kelemen]

As it turned out, I don't think there was much disagreement in the first
place. Because - as far as I remember - nobody wanted a language level
construct. I personally only wished the JDK to provide methods and
interfaces for this. The only question is that there are multiple ways to
implement this with different implications, and I believe the JDK should
provide at least 2 different kinds: One which requires no close, and no
longer referenced iterators would just abandon their VT forever (somewhat
dangerous, but there a lot of generators that would not be hurt by that),
and another one which can be closed explicitly. Anyway, before talking
about other specific details, we would need that the JDK puts it up on the
roadmap in the first place.
