I haven't had a chance to read the RFC in detail yet, but am really 
pleased to see it. Ever since I read the description (and design 
rationale) for Python's implementation, I have been thinking this would 
be a useful addition to PHP.

One small thing I noticed: you list "Generator decorator managers" in 
Future Scope, and while I agree that a magic attribute would need a bit 
of thought, including the "standard boilerplate class" under some 
suitable name seems worth considering.
