Something like this would be great.  In practice, this particular  
suggestion might be a tad unwieldy:

function foo() {
	var gen = arguments.generator;
	var command = new AsynchCommand();
	command.onResult = function(result) {
		gen.send(result);
	}
	command.execute();
	var result = yield;
	// do something with the result
}

The unwieldy part being that you're required to set  
arguments.generator to a local var because otherwise the arguments  
object gets masked.  But this could be simplified a little if you  
could obtain a send() delegate directly from the generator object:

function foo() {
	var command = new AsynchCommand();
	command.onResult = arguments.generator.delegate();
	command.start();
	var result = yield;
	// do something with the result
}
