Not if you call coroutine_fn functions - these are explicitly marked
as functions that yield.  For example block or net I/O.

The issue here is that there are some block.h functions that are not
marked coroutine_fn but actually yield if running inside coroutine
context.  I think we could get rid of them with a little bit of work.
