No. That's a different kind of co-routine. The "coroutine" feature
planned for Lua 5.0 is implemented by the VM interpreter and only
applies to interpreted Lua code.
I see.
The coroutines that require a bit of
assembly are a different animal; they can work on conventional
compiled C code. AFAIK that type of coroutine is not planned to be
added to Lua. If you want such a thing, it should be very easy to add
it yourself using Edgar Toernig's coro library:

Thanks for the pointer. Looks like froese's lib is for Linux only. I
also found the gnu pth library which is multi-platofrm but it's a bit
large. Anyone know of a small multiplatform coro library?
