They don't have a "*" in them, though, and I don't
think the existing meaning of yield as an expression

shouldn't be any conflict.
But if you think there will be a conflict, or that the
similarity would be too confusing, maybe the new
construct should be called something else. I'm
open to suggestions.
I'm *already* regretting poking my head into this particular bike shed,
but...
has anyone considered the syntax 'yield from iterable'? i.e.
def foo():
yield 1
yield 2
def bar():
yield from foo()
yield from foo()
list(bar()) -> [1, 2, 1, 2]
I suggest this because (1) it's already what I say when I see the 'for'
construct, i.e. "foo then *yield*s all results *from* bar", and (2) no
new keywords are required.
