First, I tried following Coroutine code with Fiber, but caused segmentation
fault.

-----
Fiber child, parent;
child = new Fiber(delegate() {
        writeln("before call parent");
        parent.call();  // invoke parent fiber
        writeln("after  call parent");
    });
parent = new Fiber({
        writeln("before call child");
        child.call();
        writeln("after  call child");
    });
parent.call();

% dmd -run co.d
before call child
before call parent
after  call child
--- killed by signal 11

Second, I tried Semi-Coroutine code. It works fine.

-----
Fiber child, parent;
child = new Fiber(delegate() {
        writeln("before call parent");
        Fiber.yield();  // return to parent.
        writeln("after  call parent");
    });
parent = new Fiber({
        writeln("before call child");
        child.call();
        writeln("after  call child");
    });
parent.call();

% dmd -run co.d
before call child
before call parent
after  call child
-----

core.thread.Fiber now provides Semi-Coroutine APIs(call and yield), so I guess
former code is invalid.
If so, Fiber's document should describe such limitation.

Can you please send a pull request with a doc fix? You probably know the API
better than I do.
