Calling a generator multiple times

Maybe more like a revision. Thinking about them as functions
isn't right. When you call a function, it's code executes.
When you call a generator, something else executes which prepares
the code the programmer wrote for execution.

While people will get to used to it just fine, let's just say
I happen to agree with the listing of this as a "wart".
