# Fibers are primitives for implementing light weight cooperative concurrency in
# Ruby. Basically they are a means of creating code blocks that can be paused
# and resumed, much like threads. The main difference is that they are never
# preempted and that the scheduling must be done by the programmer and not the VM.
