April 10 2014 Meeting Notes

[Mark S. Miller]

y. Iterators are themselves iterable, so you can for/of an interator (which
happens to be a generator), exit the for/of loop early, and currently
resume the iterator. Were we to adopt the proposal, when the iterator is a
generator, it would not be resumable.
