+// Some details on yield IDs
+// -------------------------
+//
+// In order to assist Ignition in generating bytecode for a generator function,
+// we assign a unique number (the yield ID) to each Yield node in its AST. We
+// also annotate loops with the number of yields they contain (loop.yield_count)
+// and the smallest ID of those (loop.first_yield_id), and we annotate the
+// function itself with the number of yields it contains (function.yield_count).
+//
+// The way in which we choose the IDs is simply by enumerating the Yield nodes.
+// Ignition relies on the following properties:
+// - For each loop l and each yield y of l:
+//     l.first_yield_id  <=  y.yield_id  <  l.first_yield_id + l.yield_count
+// - For the generator function f itself and each yield y of f:
+//                    0  <=  y.yield_id  <  f.yield_count
