The mypy documentation is currently ambivalent on whether ``Iterator`` or ``Iterable`` is the better return-type annotation for a simple generator function. The documentation should endorse using ``Iterator`` instead of ``Iterable`, in my opinion, as it is a more precise return type, and no less concise.
