Sounds like a good one for the obfuscated Python contest. :-)

Unless the generator has a try/except surrounding the yield point into
which the exception is thrown, it will bubble right out, and PEP 479 will
turn this into a RuntimeError. I'll clarify this in the PEP (even though it
logically follows from the proposal) -- I don't think there's anything to
worry about.
