I'm not sure if I've responded or not to previously given explanations -- but you're right, it's time for me to shut up having made my point, too.
Well, there is probably more to be said about this - along the lines of *why* generators ought to be more like iterators. (They're iterables, not iterators.) It's just that we seem to be rehashing the same arguments - or maybe that's just my impression, as there's been discussion on three different channels (-ideas, -dev, and the issue tracker - mercifully very little on the latter).
