I like it. It's on the border of being too obscure (the examples are
logical, but I need to think to apply the logic - if you see what I
mean), but overall I think it's a reasonable generalisation. As Brett
says, the yield example is compelling. I like "yield *it" much better
than the current somewhat clumsy idiom "for val in it: yield val".

Paul.
