This is already possible using a library solution, see https://dlang.org/phobos/std_concurrency.html#.Generator

I believe their is a subtle difference. I could be mistaken because I don't know the depth of fibers.

Fibers are more concurrency related and imitate a task switch. In this case with functions, no task switching like behavior is needed. Just a push and pop of the locals and a few other little things. It may be exactly what a fiber does though?

I'm thinking it is more like thread(heavy) > fiber(medium) > functional
yield(light weight).

This would require a DIP, however I doubt that it is going to pass through. As pointed out, fibers do this exactly.

I am going to close this. If you want to pursue it TeddyBear12311@gmail.com, please submit a DIP.
