Ah, ok. But then I would name the function differently, perhaps isgeneratorfunc(). > So, what should be the class of g ? Maybe we can keep FunctionType > and don't bother. I would say, keep FunctionType. There's no real need to know the exact type except for inspecting, and for that, the new function in inspect can be used.
