Please comment on Draft PEP for Enhanced Generators

[Raymond Hettinger]

Based on the comments received this morning, I've updated the PEP.

The changes are:

- Added Skip Montanaro's version of xfilter and xmap which avoid the use of
lambda.

- Added reference to Python Cookbook version of xmap and stated why it was
not used.

- Discussed Pete Skinner's idea for making the argument to yield optional.

- Discussed why .submit() was used instead of overloading .next().

- Referenced a SourceForge proposal to "fix" list comprehensions so they
will have own scope.

- Added Michael Chermside's thoughts on the need for two-way parameter
passing.

- Fixed the embedded HTML title.
