Summary: "if 0: yield x" is ignored

Initial Comment:
The parser doesn't descend into blocks that start with
"if 0:" and a few other special cases like "if
__debug__:".

This breaks the semantics of the yield statement, which
states that the mere *presence* of a yield in a
function makes the function a generator.

It's a bug that needs to be fixed before 2.2 is
released.
