would'nt it make more sense to have yield work coroutinish
when called withouth a block, basically integrating the enumerator
functionality in it? 


That sounds unnecesarily complex.  If it is what I think you
are talking about, you'd return some kind of object with a
continuation when you hit a yield without a block (like a
generator?).  An example would help explain what you are
talking about.

My apologize, I actually meant "Generator" not "Enumerator".

Anyway, yes, just like a Generator, and for all the usage of yield, not just for Enumerables.
This, in my opinion, would be more consistent and preserve the semantic of yielding better than returning an Enumerator, but it seem this decision was already taken in the direction you like, judging from a recent patch.
