# PREFIX and SUFFIX with suspend

    Number one on my wish list right now is a better solution for clients to parse
    output for functions that suspend.  Here's the problem.  If a function
    suspends, your output looks like:

    PREFIX
    output before suspend
    SUFFIX
    output after suspend

    This means it's really hard for a client to use prefix and suffix to separate
    output from functions that suspend.  I would be happier if you could make
    it something like:

    PREFIX <taskid>
    output before suspend
    SUFFIX <taskid; intermediate tag>
    output from other functions
    PREFIX <taskid; intermediate tag>
    output after suspend
    SUFFIX <taskid>

    I could even do this myself by hacking suspend_if_needed if it were possible
    to change the prefix and suffix from within a function.  (Am I right that
    that's not possible now?)

    Is this a good solution?  Are there any other solutions I've missed?

    Thanks.
