I like the *idea* of a generator comprehension, but I'm
not sure I like the [yield ...] syntax. It's a bit
idiomatic looking -- the [] still imply a list, even
though it's not building a list at all.

Maybe there should be a different kind of bracketing,
e.g.

  <humor(joke),joke for joke in jokes>
