Perhaps give should be called yield to stress its use with yielders and to avoid confusing its use with that of the data operation provide. [nygaard]
Thanks for the suggestion. The present notation is however trying
to keep some backwards compatibility with the original version,
which motivates sticking to give Y. In any case, give Y is
one of the most frequently used actions in practice, so it would
be preferable to change the notation for the lesser-used
provide d instead. I'll ponder the matter further... [pdm]
