When I say that Python generators can only deal with one stream at a
time I mean within the context of generator syntax:

for x in gen(gen(gen(...)))

Obviously I could write a function that returns two generators.  It's
just that you can't nest them cleanly.  Not that bash's syntax is
particularly clean when you are messing with standard error as well as
standard out.
