This is why even though in some sense I'd love to see yield *expr, I can't
imagine it's going to get into the language itself; it's too easy to do it
yourself, or provide a library function to do it (which would A: Be a lot
easier if we had some sort of "iterable" interface support and B: Be a
great demonstration of something useful that really needs protocol support
to come off right, because isinstance(something, GeneratorType) isn't
sufficient in general).

Abstractly I like the star syntax, but concretely I'm not a big fan of
adding something to the language that can be done right now with a fairly
short function/generator and hardly even any extra keystrokes to invoke it
when done right, and that overrides my abstract appreciation.
