Lester Caine and Alex Aulbach,
may I ask you to continue this discussion in a separate thread? I am
really interested in constructive responses about the generator RFC,
but your discussion is generating a lot of noise, which makes it very
hard for me to pick out the few mails that are of interest to me.
If you could open a new thread (like "Generator keyword") it would help a lot.
Nikita - I am looking for a well reasoned argument as to why generator has to be
added at all! 'Just because it can be' is not a valid argument, but perhaps you
could add to the RFC the performance implication or advantage of what is being
proposed. That would at least be some comparison with the current methods of
doing the same thing?
