 *
 * Decorates a generator function such that:
 *  - it may yield promises
 *  - execution will continue when that promise is fulfilled
 *  - the value of the yield expression will be the fulfilled value
 *  - it returns a promise for the return value (when the generator
 *    stops iterating)
 *  - the decorated function returns a promise for the return value
 *    of the generator or the first rejected promise among those
 *    yielded.
 *  - if an error is thrown in the generator, it propagates through
 *    every following yield until it is caught, or until it escapes
 *    the generator function altogether, and is translated into a
 *    rejection for the promise returned by the decorated generator.
 *  - in present implementations of generators, when a generator
 *    function is complete, it throws ``StopIteration``, ``return`` is
 *    a syntax error in the presence of ``yield``, so there is no
 *    observable return value. There is a proposal[1] to add support
 *    for ``return``, which would permit the value to be carried by a
 *    ``StopIteration`` instance, in which case it would fulfill the
 *    promise returned by the asynchronous generator.  This can be
 *    emulated today by throwing StopIteration explicitly with a value
 *    property.
