I've read that many times hoping it was what I wanted, but it isn't.

Like generators, I want the sub-routine/tasklet to execute *some*
(ie. one "iteration") then return control to the caller. In tasklets
the "iteration" is defined by channels, in generators by yield.

as pasted above, "preference = 0" does not act like generators.
