# This does what you expect; yielding a generator object | |
# But then we would need multiple levels of looping and would be ugly to | |
# determine if the object that was returned (yielded) and then loop again; | |
# sounds like a weird recursion and infinite rabbit hole to achieve a correct | |
# and complete solution. | |
