Summary: It's the future for generators

Initial Comment:
"from __future__ import generators" should no longer 
be required in 2.3a1.  Such stmts should also be 
removed from the Python library (there's a script 
under Tools to automate this).

There ought to be documentation on what to do when an
optional feature becomes mandatory. Maybe a block comment or
docstring in __future__.py?

Neil, if you don't enjoy using the patch system for 
straightforward stuff like this, don't feel compelled to 
use it.  That is, just check it in.

The attached patch removes the "yield is an optional keyword"
hacks from the parser.  It's not a complete fix for this
bug though.
