There's also the mental confusion about what the yield is doing.  Is it
yielding a value back from the function containing the generator expression
or yielding values from the generator expression to the current function?
One of the earliest proposals on python-dev used the yield keyword.  I fell
into this exact hole.  It took a message or two from others participating in
the thread to extricate myself.
