I'm not sure what I think about redefining the continue keyword, but
has anyone already proposed doing "yield as" instead of "yield from"?
To me it make that wording makes a little more sense, "OK, you're not
yielding as f anymore, now you've silently replaced yourself with g
and it's 'as if' g is doing the yielding." "Yield from" makes it clear
that all of the values of g will be yielded, but "yield as" makes it
clear that things like .send(), etc. will be sent to g and not
intercepted by f in any real way.

My 2-cents on the bikeshed,
