[middleware example]

    def middleware_generator(source_generator):
        it = source_generator()
        input_value = next(it)
        output_value = do_something_interesting(input_value)
        yield output_value

The point that Chris made that you should be refuting is this one:

>> What happens if do_something_interesting happens to raise
>> StopIteration? Will you be surprised that this appears identical to
>> the source generator yielding nothing?
