Are the coroutines copyable? This is useful if you want to use time-travel netcode (like ggpo) and coroutines attached to game objects in the same game.

I'm afraid they currently aren't, but there's no reason this couldn't be implemented. There's a "copy" function for reference types that currently errors on co-routines.

That sounds great :)

I found it a bit strange that the coroutines run until the first yield at the time they are created, but otherwise I quite like the system.
