I find "generator-function" misleading in the same way that "pineapple"
misleadingly suggests "apple that grows on pines"
A builtin function is a function in the builtin (or builtins -- can never remember) module
A pure function is function that does not assign or mutate non-locals
A Steven-function is a function that presumably Steven wrote
However a "generator function" is a weird sort of function (at best).
Not regarding it as a function is IMO more reasonable.
