[Python-ideas] Modifying yield from's return value

[Joseph Jevnik]

I have written a library `cotoolz` that provides the primitive pieces
needed for this. It implements a `comap` type which is like `map` but
properly forwards `send`, `throw`, and `close` to the underlying coroutine.
There is no special syntax needed, just write:

```
yield from comap(f, inner_coroutine())
```

This also supports `cozip` which lets you zip together multiple coroutines,
for example:

```
yield from cozip(inner_coroutine_a(), inner_corouting_b(),
inner_coroutine_c(), ...)
```

This will fan out the sends to all of the coroutines and collect the
results into a single tuple to yield. Just like `zip`, this will be
exchausted when the first coroutine is exhausted.

The library is available as free software on pypi or on here:
