My apologize, I actually meant "Generator" not "Enumerator".

Anyway, yes, just like a Generator, and for all the usage of yield, not 
just for Enumerables.
This, in my opinion, would be more consistent and preserve the semantic 
of yielding better than returning an Enumerator, but it seem this 
decision was already taken in the direction you like, judging from a 
recent patch.
