I was thinking about the proposals that are made
from time to time for things like

   yield *foo

to yield all the items from a sub-generator. I was
also thinking about what could be done to make
using generators as coroutines more convenient,
and I came up with the idea of a new statement

   call expr

which would be equivalent to

   for x in expr:
     yield x

This happens to be the same as what "yield *"
would do, so it kind of unifies the two issues.
