We can make it easy for for to generate (yield) values instead of accumulating an array and returning it, given that we're already wrapping in an IIFE.

See jashkenas/coffeescript#5379 for this exact idea. I didn't think for* made sense in a CoffeeScript syntax, but it makes sense in Civet which inherits all of ECMAScript; I think it nicely pairs with the recently added async for. I'm also inspired here by Janet's generate.

loop* and while* could also be cool for infinite generators.
