I am completely against any > keyword that is essentially documentation-only. It is not documentation only (or should not but I have to check the implementation). It allows the use of the generators features inside this function. Just like what we have for static methods and this (somehow). Also I would really not begin to totally rethink the way generators work or are defined. There are clean and known ways in other languages, the closer we get from them the easier it will be to learn how to use them in PHP.
