Because Ruby is dynamically-dispatched, we can't see what methods
might be used downstream from a Fiber. We'd have to instrument or CPS
transform every called-through method in JRuby.

The Scala trick is cute, but only works where you can statically
determine downstream calls and transform them.

JVM really needs a general-purpose coroutine capability.
