Wouldn't

   yield *(x for x in gen1(arg))

be sufficient, and would already be supported by the proposal at
hand?

Also, with the syntax you suggest, it's not automatically clear
whether you want to yield the generator created by the generator
expression or the values yielded by the expression.  The "*" makes
this much more explicit, if you ask me, without hindering readability.
