Summary: generators can't be weakly referenced

Initial Comment:
I can't seem to weakly reference generators.  I can't
think of a good reason that this shouldn't work.  Here
is a code snippet to demonstrate the issue:

>>> from __future__ import generators
>>> import weakref
>>> def f():
...   yield "HELLO"
...
>>> weakref.proxy(f())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: cannot create weak reference to 'generator'
object
>>>
