I think we should not use the name 'yield' because it can be a keyword added later if we introduce coroutine, generator, etc. I thought of that. Then I realized we already have "Thread.yield" among others in the libraries, so there's no reason to use a suboptimal name just to avoid using the y-word. Are you saying that yieldInto is actually a better name? Or are you just trying to avoid a possible collision?

I like yieldInto, now there is perhaps a better name.
