Is there any plans or work going on gcc related to c++ coroutines?

I've seen many odd things on the GCC lists, but this is one of the
oddest.  Coroutines have been a feature of other programming languages
for 50 years, and at no point has anyone thought them worthwhile
enough to put them into C or C++.  They could have been added at any
time; there is nothing particularly difficult about their
implementation.  But somehow now, in 2017, they are of great
importance.  Is there any reason that this language feature is more
compelling today than at any point in the past?
