Heh:  that shows how little you still read the newsgroup <0.9 wink>.  Note
that PEP 255 recorded all of these variants suggested for "yield":

       return 3 and continue
       return and continue 3
       return generating 3
       continue return 3
       return >> , 3
       from generator return 3
       return >> 3
       return << 3
       >> 3
       << 3

I suppose I should add

       * 3

to the list now.
