The generator function does not really yield values.  It returns an
iterator that yields values.  This is handled transparently by the for
loop mechanism.  The iterator cannot be reset.  The generator can be
called again, with either the same or different arguments, to return a
new iterator that will yield the same or different sequence.  It can
even be called again before you use the first iterator to get any
values.
