We already have a rule to disambiguate generator comprehensions: they
must always be parenthesized unless they are already parenthised:
g = (y for y in a) # parens required
t = 999, (y for y in a) # parens required
func((y for y in a)) # inner parens optional

That's an odd way to look at it. We must disallow an unambiguous syntax
because a completely different syntax would have been ambiguous if we
didn't already have a rule in place that disambiguates it.
