It's not that surprising, it's the general requirement that yield
expressions must be enclosed in parentheses except when used
standalone or in a simple assignment statement.

"with (yield expr):" is valid syntax though, so I'm reluctant to
endorse doing anything substantially different if the parentheses are
omitted.

I think the combination of "yield from" to delegate control (including
exception handling) completely to a subgenerator and "context manager
+ for loop + explicit yield" when an operation needs to yield multiple
times and the exception handling behaviour should be left to the
caller (as in the "as_completed" case) should cover the necessary
behaviours.

Cheers,
Nick.
