. . .
I'm attempting to implement the 'Range' object (and other lazy lists)
for perl6, using a coroutine to generate the next value in the range.
At the moment, all instantiations of the range object share the
coroutine for generating their value.
I don't have to use coroutines here, but if I can, I think it'll make
the implementation easier.

At this point, I think your choices are:
1. Have a separate coroutine sub that the method clones and saves in
the object; or
2. Store the coroutine state explicitly in the object, and emulate
yielding in the method.
The second choice ought to be simpler, especially if (as I'm
guessing) there is only one C<yield> and the surrounding control
structures are straightforward. It also has the advantage of not
breaking if the Coroutine object API has to change when it eventually
gets fixed.
