I would like to be able to use a `yield from` expression in a `return`

return yield from gen

return (yield from gen)

What does this do? `return (yield …)` is the expression form, so this generator is really a coroutine, but unless I missed it your gist doesn't have a `.send` or `.throw` and you aren't using the value of StopIteration.

So I think your idea is really to create a shorthand for

```

yield from gen

return

```

Is that what you mean? or if I misunderstand please explain further.

In my example, the return value (StopIteration value) of the generator is the function which will handle the next character in the lexer. The value of a `yield from` expression is the StopIteration value.
