So, I've run the current parser over a corpus that we sometimes use - 
there do not appear a conflicting use of yield there. There is a handful 
of uses of yield as a variable; some invocations of Thread.yield; and 
(the included version of) JRuby appears to define and invoke methods 
called "yield", but the invocations appear to be in an expression context.
