I'll second Ken's congratulations to Christian!

I beg enlightenment from someone more familiar with these 
high-falutin' concepts. Would the following characterization be 
accurate?

All these beasts (continuations, coroutines, generators) involve the 
idea of "resumable", but:

 A generator's state is wholly self-contained
 A coroutines's state is not necessarily self-contained but it is 
stable
 Continuations may have volatile state.

Is this right, wrong, necessary, sufficient...??
