Thanks for the generator. It returns an extra blank line at the end
when used with "find -print0", which is probably not ideal, and is
also not how the normal file line iterator behaves. But don't worry
-- I can fix it.
In any case, as a suggestion to the whomever it is that arranges for
stuff to be put into the standard library, there should be something
like this there, so everyone doesn't have to reinvent the wheel (even
if it's an easy wheel to reinvent) for something that any sysadmin
(and many other users) would want to do on practically a daily basis.
