Re: lua_newthread: is this essentially creating a coroutine?

[David Morris-Oliveros <david@...>]

Yes, lua_newthread creates a coroutine with a new (sub) lua_State. You 
then start it with lua_resume(). It won't block other coroutines, since 
you have to timeslice them anyway manually.

Does this make sense?
