[Chicago] AST constructure

[Daniel Uber]

And that was indeed wrong. What actually is happening is that 
GeneratorExp is the real function in source code, and the #define just 
makes that name a private one in the output. The definition, located in 
Python-ast.c, looks like:
expr_ty
GeneratorExp(expr_ty elt, asdl_seq * generators, int lineno, int col_offset,
              PyArena *arena)
{

In any case, I wasn't far off before, what happens is it builds an 
object out of the supplied arguments and hands you back an expression 
pointer.
