I don't know. What exactly is the audience supposed to be of this high-level statement? It would be pretty darn impossible to explain even the for-statement to people who are new to programming, let alone generators.
If the use of block-statements becomes common for certain tasks such as opening files, it seems to me that people are going to encounter their use around about the same time they encounter for-statements. We need *something* to tell these people to enable them to understand the code they're reading.
Maybe it would be sufficient just to explain the meanings of those particular uses, and leave the full general explanation as an advanced topic.
