Description

#![feature(generators)]

fn main() {
    let x = || { yield 3 };
}

When using VSCode with this code I notice that:

  1. It seems a yield with argument is reported by analyzer as error.
  2. Also helping hint about x type displays that x have closure type || -> i32 instead of generator trait type.

Research direction

Reproduce the report in VSCode using the provided generators snippet, checking both the yield error and the inferred type shown for x. Trace the analyzer's generator handling and type-inference entry points; done means the yield with an argument is accepted and x is presented with its generator trait type.
