Hi Anthony,

Ok, I see that now. I know you're not necessarily saying what's been
proposed is a good idea but I can see a benefit in pythonic style
generators as a separate piece of functionality, implementing a yield
function, has this ever been discussed before? My apologies if this is the
case I've not seen it since I've been following this list.

I know there is the SPL Iterator, but just as in the example you provided
implementations *can* be verbose and convoluted.

Cheers,
Sam
