So, the idea of the re-routine, is a sort of co-routine. That is, it
fits the definition of being a co-routine, though as with that when its

quits by throwing an exception, then is as expected to to called again,
when its filling of the memo is fulfilled, thus that it returns.

The normal, non-comedy way of handling this is to have the task await
something variously called a “future” or “promise”: when that object is
marked as completed, then the task is automatically woken again to fulfil
its purpose.
