Contrary to what the doc states, it is not expected (nor relevant) to
use yield-dependent methods such as core.yield() or core.(m)sleep() from
contexts that don't support yielding. Such contexts include body, init,
fetches and converters.
Thus the doc got it wrong since the beginning, because such methods were
never supported from the above contexts, yet it was listed in the list
of compatible contexts (probably the result of a copy-paste), which is
error-prone because it could either cause a Lua runtime error to be
thrown, or be ignored in some other cases.
It should be backported to all stable versions.
