Aaron Maxwell made a clear distinction between generator function and that it returns a generator object. He emphasized that a couple of times.

I don't believe that's correct.

A generator function can return any kind of object including
basic types like numbers, bool etc.In addition, a generator
function yields values which can also be of any type.

It might be valid to say that a generator function *is* a generator
object, but I'll leave that distinction to the language lawyers
to debate.
