In PEP 3156 conformant code you're supposed always to use 'yield

from'. The only time you see a bare yield is when it's part of the implementation's internals. (However I think tulip actually will handle a yield the same way as a yield from, except that it's slower because it makes a roundtrip to the scheduler, a.k.a. trampoline.)

Would it be possible to fail on "yield"? Silently being slower when you forget to type a keyword is something I can imagine will creep up a lot by mistake, and I don't think it's a good idea to silently be slower when the only different is five more characters.

Will comment more as I keep reading I'm sure :)
