Hmmm... well, my PEP kind of supersedes that when a yield-from
is in effect, because it specifies that the subiterator is
finalized first by attempting to call its 'close' method, not
by throwing GeneratorExit into it. After that, GeneratorExit is
used to finalize the delegating generator.

The reasoning is that GeneratorExit is an implementation
detail of generators, not something iterators in general should
be expected to deal with.
