The "yield" keyword is used for this purpose from the ages of
languages for example in CLU.  So if you learn the history and the
culture, you will find less problem.

I am not going to rename it.  But in far future (3.0? maybe), the
keyword will be removed from the language, and you will access blocks
via block arguments of methods.
