+This module collection manages continuations in general, most often in
the form of cooperative threads (also called coros, or simply "coro" in
the documentation). They are similar to kernel threads but don't (in
general) run in parallel at the same time even on SMP machines. The
specific flavor of thread offered by this module also guarantees you
that it will not switch between threads unless necessary, at
easily-identified points in your program, so locking and parallel access

multiplication benchmark (very communication-intensive) runs over 300
