If there's only one kind of coroutine in coroutine2, why isn't it just named "coroutine"? asymmetric_coroutine<> describes the coroutine type (assymetric transfer of execution control), With only one kind, the documentation already describes how it behaves. Having asymmetric_coroutine suggests other variations are expected in the future.

but coroutine.hpp contains:

template< typename T > using coroutine = asymmetric_coroutine< T >;

so you could use coroutine<> if desired. If you think asymmetric_coroutine is necessary, and clearly I do not, you should reverse those. That is, asymmetric_coroutine should be the alias.

I don't agree. asymmetric_coroutine is the correct term. This let us to add again symmetric_coroutine if the need comeback. Vicente
