For what it's worth, this recent issue: https://bugs.python.org/issue42762
is somewhat related to the non-async aspect of 533. (generator func getting
closed during __del__ and causing odd side-effects at seemingly random
points in the execution flow)

The example code provided in that issue is contrived, and involves catching
unconditional exceptions and recursing, but following the code flow in that
situation feels unreasonably hard, and deciding if it's a python bug or not
is even harder.

I'm not sure how easy an implementation of 533 would be that doesn't break
a lot of existing code, but if one could be made, it might help make
generator lifecycles more predictable.
