There are some way to PHP be flagged before run some function, and
understand that you wants to return a Generator instead of array?
For instance: new Generator(range(1, 1000)) makes range() work like a
generator instead of return an array - it's an alternative to avoid new
keywords.
Or, maybe, some side implementation like Generator::range(1, 1000),
Generator::array_values($array), etc. (Currently, for instance, we can
simulate the range() Generator, but not array_values())
