By the way, the PEP's "optimized" implementation could probably be done just by making generator functions containing yield-from statements return an object of a different type than the standard geniter.

Not a bad idea.

I have not read the PEP thoroughly enough to understand the new behavior and suggest another name, but I would really like to not have to change current references to 'generator instances' in texts to "generators instances created by generator functions that only contain 'yield' and not 'yield from'".
