Oops, got a little carried away there. Obviously, that doesn't handle
thrown in exceptions the way "yield from" is intended to.

So even with an adjusted for loop the full semantic expansion of 'yield
from' would still need to be defined directly in terms of try/except and
method calls on the underlying iterator to get the desired exception
handling characteristics.

Cheers,
Nick.
