This idea has been discussed before. I think the problem with recognizing
generators as the subject of "yield" statements is that then you can't yield
a generator even if you want to.
The best syntax I can think of without adding a new keyword looks like this:
yield from x
which would be equivalent to
for i in x:
yield i
Note that this equivalence would imply that x can be any iterable, not just
a generator. For example:
yield from ['Hello', 'world']
would be equivalent to
yield 'Hello'
yield 'world'
