Indeed, PEP 380 is really hard to do properly without language support. No, it isn't. You add a decorator, a 'from' class, and a 'return' function, and there you go. (See my previous code sketches here in early PEP 380 discussions.)

Will it handle all of the generator protocol correctly, including send(), exception handling, and generator closing?

Also, how efficient would it be? A major benefit of a built-in implementation is that it can be almost as fast as using the sub-generator directly.
