Another strange one: 'close with X'.

This hinges on the 'close' method returning X and also that this could 
be done syntactically *without* making 'close' a reserved word by 
relying on 'with' already being a reserved word with very limited usage 
in the grammar:

    generator_return_stmt: NAME 'with' testlist

And then verify later that NAME is 'close' (or raise SyntaxError).

I'm not that familiar with Python's parser to know if it could handle 
this or not (LL vs. LR)...
