As I understand it, the object 'x' binds to is immediately used to create
the generator object. The local name is just a dummy that is not part of
the result. I believe that the above is equivalent to
def foo(x):
def _(z):
for i in z: yield i
return _(x)
although I suspect that the implementation builds the generator more
directly.
