No, I meant the second meaning (i.e. generator is exhausted when it
has returned instead of yielding).

While, as you showed, it is trivial to create a generator that will
have the "exhausted" flag, in my specific case I have no control over
the user code. I have to use what the Python genobject API gives me
plus the context of the trace function.
