in my proposal, when you call a coroutine, it returns an iterator (and

The thing this buys over the traditional (which I refer to as the
"stupid") way, is that you can do this:
    my $example = example();
    my $example2 = example();
    =$example; # 1
    =$example; # 2
    =$example2; # 1
    =$example; # 3
There is _no way_ to do that using the stupid way.
Nonsense. You just return an anonymous coroutine:
    sub example { coro {...} }
    my $example  = example();
    my $example2 = example();
    $example();  # 1
    $example();  # 2
    $example2(); # 1
    $example();  # 3
