Executive Summary: 1. iterindexed(collection) --> accepted

Except I want to think more about the name.

2. gen comprehensions --> rejected

Good.

3. gen exception passing --> deferred, needs case building

OK (or you could give up now while you're ahead :-).

4. gen parameter passing --> deferred, needs alternatives explored

That one was already taken out of the PEP. I think that #3 probably fits better in the new PEP you were gonna write for #4. But to be honest, I don't encourage you to write it -- I expect I'm gonna reject both in the end. But I can't stop you. :-)
