+ * can't be freely mixed.
+ *
+ * - If the Fiber's lifecycle had started with transfer, it will never be
+ * able to yield or be resumed control passing, only finish or transfer
+ * back. (It still can resume other fibers that are allowed to be
+ * resumed.)
+ *
+ * - If the Fiber's lifecycle had started with resume, it can yield or
+ * transfer to another Fiber, but can receive control back only the way
+ * compatible with the way it was given away: if it had transferred, it
+ * only can be transferred back, and if it had yielded, it only can be
+ * resumed back. After that, it again can transfer or yield.
+ *
+ * If those rules are broken, rb_eFiberError is raised.
