+1 on arrowed generators! Have being actively using generators last month &
have being wishing they could be like arrows, although syntax I've being
thinking of was
(x, y) *> { .... }
BTW given that generators are used as a method on iterators wouldn't it
make sense to consider syntax for generator members in a classes syntax ??
My hope is in ES6 we would just use class syntax for methods & arros for
functions making "function" a legacy
