[APN] 2013-06-28: Finally figured the way to understand [coroutine]-based programming was (as always) to sit and actually write some real code. The result is the `fiber` package.

** Description **

From the introduction of the package:

    :   This package provides an implementation of "fibers" for Tcl.  Fibers, as the term is used in this package, are threads of execution that are co-operatively [multitasking%|%multitasked] and use message passing as their primary means of communication, including channel-based I/O.

    :   Fibers are implemented using Tcl coroutines and are compatible with any Tcl application model provided it runs the Tcl event loop.

    :   [Erlang] programmers may find some similarity to that language's process model. That is not just happenstance.
