For the record, I have solved the confusion on my own. I misunderstood
what the parent greenlet is. I had the wrong idea that the parent greenlet
was the calling greenlet, whereas it is just the greenlet where the child 
greenlet is *defined*, not called. So my example works just by setting the 
right parent by hand: gen123.parent = main 
I see that the same trick is used in test_generators.py.
Still thinking to practical applications of the idea, but I believe
I understand the basics now.
