+//! This module implements generator logic for the VM. Generators are functions
+//! used during evaluation which can suspend their execution during their
+//! control flow, and request that the VM do something.
+//!
+//! This is used to keep the VM's stack size constant even when evaluating
+//! deeply nested recursive data structures.
+//!
+//! We implement generators using the [`genawaiter`] crate.
