Support for ASM 3.2 / 3.3 and in/out continuations parameters
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SANDBOX-323
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANDBOX-323
             Project: Commons Sandbox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Javaflow
    Affects Versions: Nightly Builds
         Environment: SUN JDK 1.6
            Reporter: Valery Silaev
             Fix For: Nightly Builds
         Attachments: javaflow_modified.zip

1. Currently JavaFlow can be used with new ASM builds due to incompatible 
changes introduced in ASM 3.2, the patch provided adds support for ASM 3.2 / 
3.3, so JavaFlow may be used with any ASM 3.x version 

2. There is no API to return result from suspended continuation, ad-hoc custom 
logic with ThreadLocal variables is necessary for this. The patch contains API 
changes to allow this.

// In continuation
final Object varReceivedByContinuation = 
Continuation.suspend(varPassedByContinuation);

// In calling client
final Continuation cc = Continuation.startWith(code);
System.out.println(cc.value()); // value() is yielded by continuation

In certain sense this works as "yield" operator found in other programming 
languages, and has even richer semantics.

3. Miscellaneous: continuation-specific Iterable/Iterator are provided with 
patch as well to simplify iteration over multiple values yielded by 
continuation code; they are named CoRoutine / CoIterator in code.
