Since 'yield from' is intended mainly for delegating to
another generator, the 'x' there will usually be a function
call, so you'll be looking at something like

    f(yield from g(x), 1)

which doesn't look very confusing to me, but maybe I'm
not impartial enough to judge.

In any case, I'm now pursuing cofunctions as a better
way of doing lightweight threading, so this issue
probably doesn't matter so much.
