Of course, but then you have to change the code generator to use 
gen->locals->var instead of just var when compiling a generator.

Speaking of Stackless, it would be *awesome* to have a Pyrex mode that 
spits out stackless-soft-switching compatible code (which wouldn't be 
much different than generators), it's a pain in the butt to write the C 
code by hand..
