I really like the idea of some generic yield, though I wonder if there's some reason it hasn't been added earlier. People have been using the setTimeout(..., 0) trick for a while to get around slow script warnings (and general unresponsiveness)...so surely something like this must have come up before? If so, what were the drawbacks?<div>
