So what? U are using Wikipedia to invalidate me. :) <shrug> Is it so
bad to hear an people with more experience? Do you have problems with
it with authority? :)

So lets make it clear: I say - and I would bet on it - this feature
will cause problems, when implemented like this. Not because of
technical reasons, but because it isn't nicely embedded into PHP.
Normal PHP-programmers will have problems to understand it correctly.
And I'm sure that I'm right, because of my experience. And be warned:
In 90% when I begin to bet, I win. This is also from experience.

First you say that you are right, because you have more experience in the
topic than the others, then you accuse the "PHP-internals" that they are
favoring their opinion over the rest about the php language development.
Name conflict. I meant the PHP-programmers. I call me a PHP-developer,
because I develop programs in PHP. Not a good idea at this list. :)

And yes, I think that there is a more ore less small gap between that,
what the "mass" of anonymous PHP-programmers really needs and that,
what is written in this internals list.
I with you introducing new features like this, but it must be done in
a way that is more self-explaining, has a low learning-curve. Yield
implemented like this dosn't match this criteria.

He linked to the Wikipedia "Appeal to authority" article because it's a common logical fallacy. Experience alone does not make you any more right than somebody else, and in the same way, someone without it is not "less right".

Also, I have 16 years of experience at life, so obviously I'm an expert at it, right?

I don't see how it means anything.
