I don't see how you can avoid an implicit function scope in
the case of a generator expression, though. And I can't see
how to make yield in a generator expression do anything
sensible.
Consider this:
def g():
return ((yield i) for i in range(10))
Presumably the yield should turn g into a generator, but...
then what? My brain is hurting trying to figure out what
it should do.
