Exactly the same as a suite would in the innermost portion of the equivalent 
explicit generator (i.e. where the implicit "yield <expr>" currently ends up).

If you could put a suite inside a function expression (i.e. replacing the 
implicit "return <expr>") why not inside generator expressions as well?

Cheers,
