I think you're rushing things a bit. We don't necessarily want a single 
name reserved in context. Perhaps there's a better way that doesn't 
abuse yield or add an unwanted degree of freedom (or three -- don't want 
to get last yielded-value, that is a GC-leak honey trap; don't want 
yield-that-must-come-first-temporally-and-be-seen-by-code-reviewers 
either :-P).
