Though I never checked every detail on how virtual threads are implemented,
but your claim looks to be false to me. Consider that you are implementing
a normal `Iterator`, and then you don't read the iterator fully. In that
case, your virtual thread will be sitting in the scheduler forever waiting
to be unblocked, while this is not the case for reasonably implemented
generators.
