I've been thinking about proposing an enhancement concerning generators that would entail making "call" a reserved word, so I'd be a little disappointed if this name were used.

Maybe apply() could be reinstated and put into the operator module?

That would lose the symmetry with call.

What's so special about your proposal that requires a new keyword?
