Description

Coroutines and closures have quite similar type structures. It makes sense to provide similar APIs for coroutines as those that exist for closures, like:

  • Context::closure_sig
  • Context::resolve_closure
  • Coverage in Context::fn_sig

Research direction

Start by reading the existing Context::closure_sig and Context::resolve_closure APIs, then examine Context::fn_sig coverage and how coroutine and closure type structures compare. Done means coroutine APIs equivalent to the closure APIs are available, with the requested fn_sig coverage.
