Ok, why not call it "iterator" or "generator" or "huffpuff" instead of
"function"? It's just the naming, which disturbs me, because a
function is something which is, when called once finished once. I
don't like mathematics, but that is one of the definition of a
function:

"each input is related to exactly one output"

Couldn't be so complicated to introduce a new name for that, or?
