Thanks, stackful/stackless is noted for next time. I still kinda like using "async" as a shorthand for stackless coroutines though.

  Before async for I/O became popular, stackless coroutines were mainly used for generator abstractions (for example yield in python), so async can be reductive.

    And that's exactly why I would say "async", because then everyone will know that I'm talking about something like async in Python/C#, and not something like Python generators. Technically, they're may well be almost the same thing, but practically, they're used very differently.
