Im 100% with this too. doubleplusgood would be my vote, if I had one.
Generators do seem different enough from functions to warrant a different syntax.

some other syntax possibilities:

gen foo(args):
   yield x

def foo(args) generator:
   yield x

def foo(args) as generator:
   yield x

def generator foo(args):
   yield x
