Let's not let the limitations of what can be expressed directly in 
Python influence the implementation.  This is just a documentation 
issue.  You can use comments or include some an extra explanation to 
clarify the PEP.  Or you could define it in the PEP as a class (in 
Python), rather than a generator.

Has anybody shown a use-case for this?
