Imagine that you have lisp envy, but your brain can't quite handle all
the parentheses. Here's my idea for more readable s-expressions.

When you begin parsing, you start in terminator mode. In terminator
mode, an expression is a series of space separated expressions
terminated by a newline or semicolon:

  print "hello"
  eat "tomatoes"
  clean "dishes"

	var iterator;
	function resume() {
		iterator.send(arguments);

	iterator = generatorFunction(resume);
	iterator.next();
