PHP will just complain in existing scripts if you use "generator" as
function-name and stops compiling. I think this is stupid, but that's
a completly different discussion.

well, wouldn't think, that it can be that easy.

> iterator foo() { ... yield $bar; ... } sounds OK for me... and got a meaning too.
> though it can confuse some people with the original iterators...

But it's just what it does.

> BTW: I still don't think that the generators need a unique word and I suggest using functions, but I didn't read al the mails chain, so I assume that I'll find there the answer.

Of course you will!
<making gestures>These are not the droids your looking for. Ups. wrong line. :)
