Indeed it is, but you can thank Ralph Griswold (Icon's dad) for most of the
Python inspiration; Sather and CLU played indirect roles (most visibly, both
of those use "yield"; Icon uses "suspend").  Note that in Knuth's
terminology, they're simply "semi-coroutines".  These ideas used to be more
common in programming!  We're just trying to bring Python up to 1960 <wink>.
