Well, not really.  It's far enough along that it isn't worth somebody
else trying to come at it from scratch: I have a 1700-line diff or so,
much of which deals with splitting out I/O elements into a private
"struct pipeio" so that useful abstractions can be shared with
generators, and it has most of the basic generator code in place.
However, it doesn't yet get the file descriptor plumbing quite right, I
haven't finished hooking up pipeline_pump for them, and the branch fails
its tests, so it's not worth anyone else trying it out yet.  I'll try to
get it sorted out as soon as I can.
