I mean that the generated IR is incorrect because, to correspond to that 
source code, it needs to be rethrowing within a catch body instead of 
simply resuming.  That’s what I thought you were asking about.

Frankly, I just assumed the structure of your generated coroutine body 
was correct, or correct enough to show the intent.
