Wait a minute, there's nothing in the PEP as accepted that
mentions any such restriction.

My intention was that it should be as easy as possible to
replace any function call 'f(x)' with 'yield from f(x)'.
If parentheses are required, then instead of

    f(yield from g(x))

we would have to write

    f((yield from g(x)))

I can't see how this is an improvement in readability or
clarity.
