Research direction

Start by reading the discussion in cats-effect pull request 2478, especially the linked issue comment, to understand the proposed unyielding { ... } semantics. Define the expected behavior for preventing automatic cedes or yields within a region, then use that definition to identify the affected runtime entry points and tests; done means the construct has agreed-upon behavior and coverage.
