I think if your syntax and semantics imply the stack-ness of your coroutine implementation then you you have a language design problem. Coroutines are subroutines with two additional primitives (resume after call, and yield before return). Whether `yield`/`resume` imply stack swapping or a state transition between activation frames is just an implementation detail. Both have tradeoffs, to be sure.

So it is not just an implementation detail. You could argue that specifying these semantics is a problem, and I would actually agree, but obviously it is not something many, if not most, language designers agree.
