[docs] [issue31156] Stopiteration terminates while-loop

[Günter Rote]

Günter Rote added the comment:

Sorry, that was my misinterpretation of what happened.
I had been stumbling over an old program I had written, but
apparently it works because the while-loop is inside
a generator function, and the StopIteration is simply
passed on.

Here is a small demonstration example:
>>> def f():
...   for x in range(5):
...     yield x
... 
>>> def g():
...   h=f()
...   while True:
...      yield next(h)+100
...      yield next(h)
... 
>>> list(g())
[100, 1, 102, 3, 104]

(I am beginning to wonder whether this program will be adversely affected by PEP 479 -- Change StopIteration handling inside generators.)
