I'm inclined to agree with raster here. I honestly don't see coroutines being a good match here - the API is one thing, and there is one other thing to consider that wasn't brought up and that is performance - coroutines cannot be JITed and for async stuff we'll be jumping across C-Lua border all the time over classic C API rather than fast FFI stuff (it will also add a significant amount of new runtime on C side, which I would rather avoid) which will abort traces and hurt perf. If we have promises at all (I'm still against them, and I think this "hurr async everything, promises everywhere" approach creates more problems than it solves) then the separate promise object is probably the sanest approach. Obviously this object would be bound manually, having an eo file defining it is stupid (honestly, I'm against having Eo.Base in an eo file as well, I'd rather make it a builtin, it's not like bindings are going to use it - Lua already skips it and binds it on its own).
