Proposal idea - generators

[Howard Lovatt]

Hi Neal,

I couldn't see in your blog where the problem is. Note I am not
proposing, and I don't believe the original poster was either, a
continuation style yield. More a Scala and other non-lazy functional
language style were the results are stored in a Map and the Map is
returned, i.e. like applying (mapping) a function to each element of a
list but with more control (in particular break and continue
functionality).

Maybe you read the original post differently to me.
