About generators

[Jeremy Martin]

Hey (author of suspend here): this post was an earlier attempt I had an
explaining some of the concepts involved:
http://devsmash.com/blog/whats-the-big-deal-with-generators

It covers some of the basics, like, what iterators are, how generators
relate to iterators, how generators enable "suspended" execution within the
context of run-to-completion semantics; etc. Hope it helps!
