Only if their understanding is limited to a sequence of tokens that it
supposedly expands to [except for all the little differences like
whether a variable actually exists] - like your argument that it should
just convert to a tuple because "yield x, y" happens to yield a tuple -
rather than actual operations with real semantic meaning.
