You should add "if acc" before you yield acc -- I don't want an empty
acc (that only means several separators in a row -- which amounts to a
single separator in my case). And, with that statement in place, you'd
get the same duplication as before, as far as I can see. What is new
about this (except putting it inside a generator)?

Thanks for the input, though.
