Also, on a separate issue the docs say that crQUEUE_SEND can only be called from within the co-routine function itself and not from a function called by the co-routine. I was wondering if it was safe to violate this rule if the xTicksToWait parameter was set to zero and hence cause the crQUEUE_SEND call to be non-blocking?
