I think the whole concept of inspecting for this is broken. Any function can return a generator-iterator. A generator function is just a function that happens to always return one. In other words, the confusion is in the idea of introspecting for this in the first place, not that generator functions are of FunctionType. The best way to avoid the confusion is to avoid thinking that you can distinguish one type of function from another without explicit guidance from the function's author.
Nolo contendere.
I am convinced and I am taking back my feature request.
