---------------------+---------------------------
 [09:05] <daira1> meejah: we don't use inlineCallbacks in Tahoe mainly due
 to inertia -- the vast majority of the codebase was written without
 them...
 [09:07] <daira1> I had some minor technical reservations about them (and
 about mixing the two styles) but I should probably reconsider whether
 those are really justified
 [09:09] <daira1> currently our only use of them is in the tests for some
 of the cloud backend service providers (on a dev branch) that Leif wrote
 [09:10] <daira1> I think there's no objection to using them more generally
 in tests

 For this ticket, understand pros and cons of using @inlineCallbacks and
 add a section to the CodingStandards with guidelines for their use. (This
 might be very short if no guidelines are needed!)
