Definitely docs first. And we should keep references to generator expressions too, if only to explain that they've been renamed.

Perhaps someone should try it out in a 3rd party tutorial to see how it goes?

I'm not sure what "trying it out in a tutorial" would look like.

I try to be pretty clear about terminology when I teach newbies -- so I don't want to tell anyone this new thing is called a "generator comprehension" if they aren't going to see that term anywhere else.
