April 10 2014 Meeting Notes

[Mark S. Miller]

I would really like to believe that this is adequate to postpone the rest
of this issue to ES7. But even without finally, this proposal would put the
generator in a non-resumable state in ES7 after ES6 would ship them in a
resumable state. I don't think that's realistic.
