However, generators are indeed important as well, and the new API is useful for nested generators that may throw exceptions. std::generator in C++23 supports nesting, so exceptions thrown by an inner generator are caught and rethrown by each outer generator. If the generator nesting is very deep, this overhead can be significant. However, this is uncommon in real world code, because generators typically do not have complex nesting relationships. Therefore, this improvement is mainly useful for asynchronous code, which may be nested deeply.

It invokes the stop continuations, yes.
