Coroutines in JDK8++?

[Charles Oliver Nutter]

Getting coro into JDK8 is obviously not possible now, but the sooner
we get started the more likely we can shoot for JDK9. That needs
people with cycles. I have some, and I'm willing to help, but I do not
know how the JSR process works (yes, I should learn) and I'm not
enough of a VM-level expert to handle technical aspects of the coro
JSR.

I may have some changes coming up that allow me to work more closely
with the JSR and OpenJDK projects.
