///
/// ```rust
/// #![feature(generators, generator_trait)]
///
/// use std::ops::{Generator, GeneratorState};
/// use std::pin::Pin;
///
/// fn main() {
///     let mut generator = || {
///         yield 1;
///         "foo"
///     };
///
///     match Pin::new(&mut generator).resume(()) {
///         GeneratorState::Yielded(1) => {}
///         _ => panic!("unexpected return from resume"),
///     }
///     match Pin::new(&mut generator).resume(()) {
///         GeneratorState::Complete("foo") => {}
