Re: resume after exception

Sam, Just to be clear, I wasn't opposing pythonic generators. I was opposing using this feature for that purpose. If we wanted generators, I would suggest implementing them fully (as in adding a yield statement). However, that's not going to be as easy as it sounds, since what would happen with a function like this: function foo(array &$array) { foreach ($array as $value) { yield $value; } } $array = array(1); foreach (foo($array) as $value) { $array[] = $value + 1; } Not saying it's not doable, just that it's not trivial to implement...
