Well, 'gather' is basically a clever use of a coroutine, and 'take' is
basically a 'yield'. But, what's unique about the construct is that it
aggregates the results. So, 'gather' is an "aggregating coroutine" and

TAKE is like CONTROL_RETURN except that it signals that we expect
execution to continue after the point of the TAKE. It's quite
similar to a .yield operation for coroutines
